So...What’d ya think?

Wouldn’t we agree it has been an extraordinary nine months? We celebrated
the career of the most accomplished CEO in Fair history; the Board of Directors pledged the single largest capital investment in history; the
2008 OC Fair was the best Fair ever; and a new CEO was named, only the third in the last 25 years.

All of which leaves one’s heart thumping and asking:

So....What’s new?

It will be an extraordinary 22 months ahead. In that time, an exhibit building, a commercial kitchen, an administration building, a major attraction called Al’s Brain, a renovated mall, a corporation yard, and a breezeway will all make their debut...and in 2009 (drum roll), a new
23-day, five-weekend run of the OC Fair will launch July 10. The first five-weekend fair in North America!

All this capped off with 2009 being the 60th anniversary of the first OC Fair held on these grounds in Costa Mesa and 2010 being the 120th anniversary of the first OC Fair. Now that’s thinking big!

All of which leaves one’s heart thumping and asking:

So...What’s next?

I can’t wait for us to find out! These are extraordinary times for this Fair generation. Let’s revel in, relish and realize them together!
