A host of customer friendly initiatives before and during the 2004 Orange County Fair has earned Lindsey Enterprises the Randy Smith Concessionaire Award of Excellence this year.

Owned by Howard and Cindy Lindsey of Fallbrook, their concession on Livestock Lane sold barbecue beef and turkey sandwiches, roasted corn and beer during the annual Fair.

Among the reasons cited for the award was the Lindseys' training of employees, their installation of new tables, the visibility of their stand, and the placing of the Fair slogan "Jammin' at the Fair" on their signage.

The Randy Smith Concessionaire Award is named for the 12-year Fair Board member who passed away last year. He was supportive of concessionaires' efforts to improve customer service and business methods.
