President’s Message Howdy, Since its formation in 1926, the Texas Association of Fairs and Events has teamed with its membership to promote the value and importance of fairs, festivals, and events throughout the great State of Texas. As an organization we take great pride in what we do and continually strive to make our fairs, festivals, and events the premier highlight of our communities. Our fairs, festivals, and events are strong advocates in advancing the education of our future leaders, enhancing family and community values, and bringing fun and entertainment to our attendees. I encourage you to take some time to review the contents of our 2020 Membership Directory as it is filled with information about our approximate 100 Member fairs, festivals, and events, and our approximate 170 Associate Members. Our Members and Associate Members have demonstrated time and time again that by working together we can achieve outstanding success. Over the years I have found that by visiting other fairs, festivals and events you will find something or someone who will provide you with a new idea or approach to enhance the value of your fair, festival or event. Take a look at the “2020 Fair & Event Dates” section of the directory and plan to take a trip to not only learn but enjoy what your fellow members have to offer. Give them a call and let them know you are coming, and I bet you will receive a red-carpet welcome. Lastly, I would like to remind you that we will be “Celebrating all Things Texas” at the 2020 Texas Association of Fairs and Events Convention which will be held from January 8-10, 2021 at the Galveston Convention Center. Those of you who have been to our conventions know there is great value in attending and I ask that you consider reaching out to a fair, festival, or event that you know who is not a member and ask them to join our association and attend the convention. See you in January.
Sincerely, Douglas R. Borchardt
