Vendor Guides: Sell at Craft Fairs Legally

Plain-English, state-by-state answers to the questions every vendor asks before their first show: do I need a permit, how does sales tax work at fairs, and what happens if I only sell a few times a year. Every guide cites official state sources and shows its verification date.
