Hotel Occupancy:   When the Fair is located at a Hotel or facility with sleeping rooms, the cost of the Fair hall is frequently dependant on the number of rooms reserved by the fair vendors and participants.  This is a variable cost.  It can be very significant and doesn't show up until the fair is over.  Vendors staying at a Hotel associated with the Fair will receive extra consideration over vendors choosing to stay at a different hotel.  If you are a local vendor or have a special circumstance, it will not affect availability of space.
