[quote=Anonymous]My son went last year as a junior (I did not go with him) and will stop in tonight to talk to reps from schools he is applying to.

Your daughter does not need to dress up.

Parents do not need to go, and it's probably better if your daughter does this on her own.

It's useful for a couple of things - getting info on colleges she's potentially interested in, and making contact with reps for colleges she's definitely interested in.  
Some colleges care more than others about "demonstrated interest," and talking with a rep at a college fair is one way to demonstrate interest. For colleges she thinks she is interested in, it's worthwhile to ask the rep a few questions about programs and majors she's interested in, extracurriculars she's interested in, what the atmosphere at the school is like, and whether a rep will be visiting her high school this year or next year.
For colleges she might be interested in but isn't as sure, she could just pick up their brochures, and ask questions if she has some.

It'll be very crowded, with booths or tables for many colleges, so it'd be a good idea for her to look ahead of time at the list of schools that will be there, and decide which ones she wants to visit.
