The 2013 Convention and Trade show has come and gone. Success oriented information sessions abounded. Did you attend some of them? If you did, then your fair will reap the benefit of your time spent in those sessions. Please share and put the knowledge given to you forward to the others of your fair board. That is why all information sessions are provided, for the sharing and mutual benefit for all fairs / shows in Kentucky.
The Trade Show was well attended by all and gave all visiting KAFHS member food for thought and visual excitement that a group of entrepreneurs wishing for some business can display. These entrepreneurs were not left sitting at their tables during the convention. Thanks to all who waltzed thru and gave attention to all these folks. All were excited with the turnout and display of wares for our KY fairs and shows to pick from.
2013 Kentucky County Fair pageant was again loaded with excitement and glitz for all the spectators to behold. The pageantry was backed with some of the greatest looking young ladies that KY county fairs could forward to this pageant. Please thank all the local fair / festival pageants for their participation in the 2013 pageant. The glamour abounded that night of the convention. But as all competitions are, only one winner is absolute for 2013: Jenna Brooke Walters representing Hardin County Fair. All the participants that night were winners for being in the competition, congratulations to all.
2013 KAFHS President is Howard Moore. Please give him your attention and request of him anything that you may need, share, or discuss. Howard’s Spring Meeting is at Barren River State Park, May 16 thru 18. Come and attend. Visit and just enjoy the company. Social ambiance and relaxation are the prerequisites for the formal meeting. Green County Fair and some other fairs near and dear to Howard will be providing some of the entertainment and culinary delights for the gathering. Association formal Board and committee meetings will occur on Saturday morning, May 18th. See you then and there. Make your reservations.
What happens now? 2013 Fair and Show season is coming. If you have done the planning, then the logistics will fall into place. Only things out of our control can be expected: weather. But with this thought: We cannot beat the weather; it will only change almost daily. That is living in Kentucky. We can only adjust and live with what is provided. Let’s have a great, wonderful, and successful fair season.
