How to Catch a Florida Fair

By Carry Coleman

Finding a better opportunity for your craft to be exposed to the world? Looking for a venue to showcase your art? Searching for a good niche or a good market? Ever just wanted to be prepared for the whole year so that no festivals will get past your guard?

Florida Fairs and Festivals seems to have answered a lot of my concerns when it came to dealing festivals, crafts, bazaars and events that had to do with art, food, and everything that has to do with exhibits and such.

The site offers a good deal in the form of a trial membership. It's 99 cents for the trial membership, 3 days. You basically get everything the regular members get with their membership. As a member, it entitles you access to their comprehensive database of events. This has all pertinent information regarding the events, like names, dates, location, types of events and something specific, even like what types of vendors or exhibits do they accept and allow.

The site gives the information out in easy-to-understand and easy-to-access format. This saves you a LOT, and I mean, a lot of time going over pages and pages of directories just to have a sniffle of an idea of when and where an event would be, disregarding what it is and what do they allow.

You get detailed information on things like rental fees, application deadlines and all possible general information. It's like a mini-kit for everyone who has the motivation to take their craft and hobby seriously.

Florida Fairs and Festivals not only includes events that exhibit your work and hobby, but also events that "could" make good use for you. Things like local baseball games where park food is sure to be a hit or something like that. There is a pretty good thought in "thinking outside of the box" as they say.

By Mel C. Jardan

It is that wonderful time of year again " no, not Christmas, but rather tax time. Before you go and spend money on tax programs or a professional, think Form 1040A.

Many people avoid doing their taxes like the plague, and while we all realize that it is a "chore" avoiding it is not the answer. I've heard a ton of excuses ranging from I don't make enough money to file, to it is just too complicated and I dont have the time.

Now, while I truly understand not wanting to do your taxes, there is the potential for the average Joe or Jane to get sizeable cash refund. A couple hours of work and you just might get some of the money you've paid all year back in your pocket. As incentives go, getting money back from the government goes a long, long way.
