Good question -- lots of states and most of the best shows in the country. We can concentrate on IL, IN, MI, WI, IA, OH, MO, KS and NE -- but we can stretch those boundaries. We're in charge here!

Omaha Summer Arts Festival was good for me. I've only done it once, but it was well-organized, and tons of people came and bought. And they were very, very nice people. Set-up and take-down are easy. The 11Worth restaurant alone is practically worth the trip. I dig Omaha.
Lakefront Art Fair in Michigan City, IN. Smallish. Very nicely juried, $ awards, responsive organizers.
Kettering, OH. One day show in August. Very nice selection of artists.
So many art fairs, so little time...Arts, Beats and Eats - Royal Oak, MI, the Birmingham, MI art fairs, Detroit Urban Craft Fair, Ridge Fine Art and Craft, Ann Arbor Art Fair (the grandaddy) and the list goes on and on...
How about MN?
Marion Arts Festival in Iowa. Brookside Art Annual in Kansas City. Lots of good deadlines approaching in January. WOOHOO!
