"Coming from a small fair, I often wondered if these seminars were worth it..... I would be surrounded by State Fairs, with a large staff and much larger budgets! However, after attending the last three Spring Seminars, I have found them invaluable. It really doesn't matter what size the fair is, the problems are the same....just on a larger or smaller scale. I always come away with at least one great idea and certainly lots of food for thought."
