Busy Start to April

Where does the time go?! I can't believe it's Friday, or APRIL, for that matter! It's been really busy here this week getting the Spring Newsletter pulled together, assisting with the Fan Fair ticket sales, taste testing Fair Squares, meeting with Corndog Kickoff committees, and of course getting the orders placed for bricks and other giving programs. With the weeks this busy, the Fair will be here in no time!

I want to thank everyone again for their support of the Fan Fair program and helping us to raise nearly $120,000 for Fairgrounds renovations! Your continued support means we will have a beautiful Fairgrounds and facilities for future generations to enjoy. We also want to thank you for your patience as we've changed up the ticket ordering process the last couple of years. Though there have been some growing pains, we are trying our best to give you more options and control on where you are seated for your favorite concerts. Again, thank you for your support!

We also met with our Corndog Kickoff Advisory team this week and we've got some great ideas brewing for yet another great Kickoff! For those of you who have a sweet tooth like I do, you're in for a treat! Picture larger than life Fair food decorations with cupcakes on every table, and your picture with/popping out of a giant cake. Nothing's set in stone yet, but it's going to be great. A save the date will be emailed out in a couple of weeks, but put it on your calendars now: July 14, 2012 will mark the 16th annual event. Tickets will go on sale mid-May, but if you're interested in donating at a patron level, click here for more information.

Well, I better get back to it- lots to do and so little time! 124 days!
