Obstacles to Overcome
The number one obstacle not in our control is the weather. Since our
primary event is annually held on Labor Day Weekend, we are subject to the whims
of nature. Most of the time, the weekend weather is comprised of warm summer
days and breezy autumn nights. However, the winds of change have been known to
blow over the hilltop fairgrounds with sometimes uncomfortable results. From
rain to wind to cold, we have had our share of inclement weather events during
this late summer weekend. But the spirit of The Blandford Fair has yet to be
broken by bad weather.
Another uncontrollable factor to our success is the economy. As we
all are keenly aware, the economy can drive (or stall) more parts of our lives
than we realize. We try to offer the best value to our patrons through exciting
events, reasonable prices, and a safe environment for all. It is our sincere
hope that our guests will decide that this Labor Day exhibition is worthy of
their support, even in the tough times.
