For two years I used a canopy that was $100 and it was fine. I'd recommend you get one with fabric "walls" to block the distracting view of other stuff behind and beside you. Costco had 10x10 foot white (this is important for a lot of shows) canopies with walls a couple of years back. I think they were $200. They may be carrying them again so it might be worth checking out. I got mine at a local sporting goods store in the camping section. I didn't get the fabric walls but I would if I was going to do more shows.

If you are going to do a lot of shows I'd highly recommend you set yourself up with a set of solid walls from ProPanel. It would cost over $1000 to outfit a whole booth but it's the industry standard and nothing looks as good.

The website for Sunshine Artist, referenced above, has a lot of information on how to succeed at art fairs.
