Be sure and get a business card from each vendor the card will come in handy months later when you remember something you saw.
How true. I also take my camera, a very small water bottle that I can fill up at a water fountain, and only as much money as I am comfortable spending [and sticky notes on my credit card and check book] . Remember to ask for permission before taking pictures at vendor booths as some don't allow it.
Going with friends makes it even more fun.
Enjoy!
