Congratulations!

I would rather shoot myself than take down and set-up the tent every day. As to whether you leave your artwork in the tent at night - you'll have to decide how you feel about the security of any given show. I would prefer to leave the art on the walls and zip up the tent, and I have done that several times.

If you think that there might be a lot of wind, you would not want to zip the walls, just leave them open so the wind can move through - and do take the art off the walls - you can lay it flat in protective covering or take it to your car - depends on the situation. In one really windy situation, several of us lashed our tents together for extra weight. I don't know whether that was a good idea, but they were all more experienced fair-goers than I.
