The Florida Federation of Fairs Summer Workshop
was held July 27th and 28th in Ft. Myers, Florida. The event was hosted by
the Southwest Florida & Lee County Fair in honor of Alta Mosley, the General
Manager and current President of the Florida Federation.
Over 100 Fair folks attended the two day event which included a welcome reception/
dinner and a full day of educational sessions. The workshop included sessions
on the Florida Blue Ribbon Program, Best Ideas-Worst Ideas, along with table
topics and panel discussions. The highlight of the day was “60 Tips in
60 Minutes” presented by Marla Calico from the IAFE.
The event sponsors were: Southwest Florida Lee County Fair, The Mighty Blue
