The Meadowlands is not a craft venue, but a full-blown state fair and the biggest event in New Jersey. In fact, shopping the craft booths is only mentioned as a way to burn calories (from all the carnival food), but there are sure to be a lot of gifted artists in attendance. Though they'll be hard to find among the many other attractions including huge roller coaster and other rides, carnival games and the World of Wonder "freak" show.
