Most of the ones that I have been to are too old lady-ish. And the ones that are not old lady-ish are middle age lady-ish and full of tole painting and stupid cutesy "country" crafts which I truely despise and think is a truckload of rubbish.
I don't go to craft fairs around here for that reason.

I think that I would someday like to go to the bazaar bizarre but that means I will have to travel to the states and everything. There should be more venues catering to younger crafters around here... but then I suppose all the young people leave for jobs anyway and the people who chose to stay end up staying in a wasteland of old people crafts.

Thats my opinion on a lot of craft things.
Even craftster has started to become cluttered with people who post pics of things they made for their children and those nausiating country crafts that ALL look the same.
Its like ENOUGH WITH THE s**t CRAFTS.
(either that or I am only just starting to notice them because I am on craftster a lot more now)

Sorry Grandma. I know I wasn't raised to say words like that.

OMG I had an interior decorating mag that had a room that just looked like a nightmare of bad country crafts.
I sooo have to see if I can find it,

I went to quite a few when I was little, but I don't remember much. I went to one in the last year at the local high school and Oh My God! I totally agree with the rest of you on the country crafts and things for kids. It was cool when I was little and had American Girls dolls to buy handmade clothes for, but SHEESH can we update a little please mad !? I really really really want to go to Bizarre Bizarre someday, but it never gets very close to where I am. Perhaps if I can find some more local craft people like me (I already have two friends that I've gotten into crafts razz ), I could fire up my own craft show. I know I'll be writing my own crochet book since there's only about 5-6 hip, more odd ones that I've seen biggrin .

I you know a lot of crafters, why don't you start your own show? If you are in college, you could use a space on campus (with permission of the dean, of course). This is especially easy if you go to a school involved with arts. Even if you don't, talk to your principal about it.

If you dont' know that many crafters, then just get 4-5 together an invade an old lady craft show. The grandkids that get dragged to stuff like that are going to want something to look at too, you know.
