Thom Giordano CFE, Marketing Director, Volusia County Fair & Youth Show
You can get your country on and more at the Volusia County Fair & Youth Show this year! November 1st thru the 11th will bring food, fun and frivolity be-
yond your imagination. Hypnotist Steve Bayner returns to thrill fairgoers on the Center
Circle Stage. Sharing the picnic tabled entertainment area all 11 days will be Yesterdaze. They have played around the state of Florida and will be performing two shows daily and three on week- ends.
Dis-Connected K-9’s, GASCAR Crazy Animal Races, the Kandu Magic Show and the Great American Petting Zoo also return. New to the Volusia
County Fair this year will be Sea Lion Splash plus Mal lory Lewis & Lambchop. It’s going to be fun, fun and more fun! ―Deggeller Attractions
will be having their Flor- ida debut of two new rides,‖ announced David Viers CFE, Executive Director. ―Livestock en- tries are on pace as well as Baked Goods and
Canning entries,‖ he added. ―After last year’s incredible lineup, the Fair continues to raise the bar for their concerts. Tracy Lawrence and the new, up and coming group The Farm will perform the respective Satur- days and The Letter- men will perform 2 shows on Tuesday, November 6th, Sen- ior Day at the Fair.‖ After record atten-
dance days last year, second best overall at 182,000 (2007 was 188,000), Marketing Director Thom Giordano CFE is pleased to report sponsors are ever increasing. ―There has been a phe- nomenal response not just from Volusia County but the sur- rounding counties as well. Central Florida realizes the excellent family value and atmosphere they experience at the Volusia County Fair every
16
year.‖ The Fair began a social media campaign via a Favorite Fair Food survey on Facebook in mid August. ―It’s never too early to create the buzz,‖ Thom added. Twitter is to follow. AgVenture will continue to be a focal point for educating children
and parents alike that milk, beef and eggs do not come from the grocery store. All this kicks off October 1st with presale tickets using Walgreens
Corner Box Office and Special Event Engineering. ―Greg and Patty Bean have done a tremendous job and our pre fair sales have just gone through the roof in just the 3 years we’ve used the program,‖ proclaims David. The Volusia County Fair & Youth Show is located on State Road 44 just east of DeLand at Exit 118 A on I-4.
The Volusia County
Fair's smartphone app won the
2012 FPRA Judges' Award by the Florida Public Relations
Association at the annual state conference in
St. Augustine in early August.
