A successful show does not have to go actively looking for crafters.
$50 sounds reasonable if they get a lot of people, and you have small items that you think will sell reasonably well. Think of it as a learning experience. Good luck!
Re: soliciting for a show. Maybe your products are different enough that they'd give another dimension to the show--not the same old same old. Or the show is only a couple of years old and they're trying to expand it. It wouldn't hurt to get in on the ground floor.
