Every fair faces challenges—but sometimes the changes are bigger than expected. Hear from fairs that have navigated major changes, unexpected issues, and difficult circumstances while finding ways to keep their events moving forward. Panelists will share their experiences, lessons learned, and strategies for communicating with their communities, building support, and turning challenges into opportunities. Come hear real stories, gain practical ideas, and learn how your fair can rally its community when change comes your way.
