“I heard [from our staff] the fair was a huge success. Even our franchise owner dropped by, and he was very happy also with the show rate. ”
“You did a wonderful job organizing the vendors and speakers. Thank you again. I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere at the Fair. The vendors were mostly polite, and the people working for the Fair at the entrance were very helpful and efficient. I had the blood test for colon cancer and attended 4 different classes. I thought the beauty queens and the dancers were just terrific, fun and upbeat. I’m already looking forward to next September!”

“I just want to say, I attended the Fair, and it was FABULOUS! Thank you so much for organizing it. You really did a great job. I really liked everything, but I especially liked all the things I could try out such as the stretch manipulation. I enjoyed having my aura read as well as my energy field and the little art lesson. I also liked having the opportunity to have my blood drawn for possible inclusion in a drug study. ”

Looking forward to the next one!"

"I enjoyed all the different choices that were available. My friend was able to have a hearing test. (I had one at my doctor's office.)
