John,
Several of the Oklahoma DX Association members are DXCC Field Checkers 
and are expected to be in attendance.  Specifically,
you can be on the lookout for Dave Duskin, NE5S, or Jim Richardson, 
N5OHL at the hamfest.
With regards to what is required, here's the cut-and-paste of the 
instructions from the ARRL website as to what needs to be done:
=====================================================================================================
3) Card Checking Process:

a) Only eligible cards can be checked by DXCC Card Checkers. An 
application for a new award may contain any number of QSL confirmations 
from the list and shall not contain any QSLs that are not eligible for 
this program. The application may contain any number of cards, subject 
to eligibility requirements and fees as determined by Section I, Basic, 
15.

b) It is the applicant's responsibility to get cards to and from the 
DXCC Card Checker.

c) Checkers may, at their own discretion, handle members' cards by mail.

d) The ARRL is not responsible for cards handled by DXCC Card Checkers 
and will not honor any claims.

e) The QSL cards may be checked by one DXCC Card Checker.

f) The applicant and DXCC Card Checker must sign the application form. 
(See Section I no. 11 regarding altered, forged or otherwise invalid 
confirmations.)

g) The applicant shall provide a SASE addressed to ARRL HQ, or, 
sufficient postage, to the DXCC Card Checker for mailing applications to 
ARRL HQ. The applicant shall also provide the applicable fees (check or 
money order payable to ARRL; credit card number and expiration date is 
also acceptable. Cash is OK, but not recommended).

h) The DXCC Card Checker will forward completed applications and 
appropriate fee(s) to ARRL HQ.
======================================================================================================

The forms you need to fill out to bring with you (The DXCC Award 
Application, and the DXCC Record Sheet) can be found and printed out 
from the ARRL Website.
