    to elaborate on Beths response. Either buy flame retardant fabric or
    get a product to treat your fabric with. there is a product called
    'flame out' most theater supply companys carry it. I got mine in
    baltimore from a place called Barrons stage equiptment. It is sold in
    a gallon jug, you spray it on your fabric. they also gave me a
    certificate that stated that my drape was flame retardant....very
    official looking. Fire marshals DO show up to big indoor shows from
    time to time. I carry the stuff with me to show them what I treated
    it with. I do not remember where I was but a fire marshal checked
    someones drape by cutting off a very small piece and holding a
    lighter to it. if it smolders for mor than a few seconds you do not
    pass. I think this was a New England show. Keep in mind your neibhor
    at a show may have 12 electric cords pluged into one outlet and a
    bare light bulb that happens to touch the drape. One show that I do
    asks that you bring a small fire extinguisher for the booth. 

    On another note. if you plan to do outdoor shows and use the same
    drape do a rod pocket at the top and bottom so you can run a bar at
    the bottom for weight.
