I have thought about table skirting also, but have not gone any further than
that. I am not in a position to expend cash for something like that at the
moment, so I will have to leave it up to others. The cost for such can be
taken directly from our guarantee income for the show.
I have no preference for what you come up with; my only recommendation would
be for Green or Black or other drab, dark color.
If you know someone who can do some simple sewing, I suggest checking out
fabric shops for inexpensive cloth. Another alternative is to buy
inexpensive bed sheets and modify them as needed.
Here are some references:

I also gleaned the following from the ILTCO message board:
Apparently there is a common formula out there that people allege works
http://about-the-web.com/shtml/reports/09-044.shtml
and
http://www.make-stuff.com/formulas/fireproofing.html
both sites have the same exact contents!!! someone cribbed the formula and
it's getting spread around. (I found this using "fireproofing cloth" as the
search term.)
- start excerpt-
FIREPROOFING CLOTH
Into 3 pints water mix
1 cup ammonium chloride (available from drugstore or chemical suppy house)
1/2 cup ammonium phosphate (available from a garden supply store)
Soak cloth well and let dry.
This preparation can be used for clothing, tents, awnings and other
textiles.
