FLORIDA FEDERATION NEWS WHAT A GREAT IDEA CONTEST
The Federation is launching a new contest this Year called “What a Great Idea Contest”!
Concept: This contest is a “quick and easy” way to recognize all
the great things our Florida Fairs are doing. All it takes is to send in pictures of “great ideas” that you see at other Fairs you visit or even a photo from your own Fair with a brief explanation of the concept. Rules: Each person can submit one photo from their own Fair
and multiple photos from other Fairs. All photos must be from Florida Fairs. Entries must be emailed to
tye@southfloridafair.com on or before May 1st. Judging: Judging will be done by the attendees at the annual
bet-
Convention. Each attendee will be given a ballot at registration to vote for one “Great Idea”. Attendee cannot vote for the entry their Fair submitted, however, they can vote for an idea from their Fair submitted by another Fair Awards: 1st – 3rd place plaques will be awarded to the “Great
Idea” with the most votes. Awards will be announced at the Con- vention. Each person submitting a “Great Idea” will have their name placed in a drawing for a gift card. Please Note: This contest will replace the current Federation
Ag Awards Contest and Historical Contest. The Federation Coun- try Critters Contest has been discontinued on the state level, but county fairs can still conduct county events.
HALL OF FAME AND ASSOCIATE OF YEAR NOMINATIONS
Each year the Florida Federation of Fairs honors individuals
that have had an impact on our industry and our Association through the Hall of Fame Award and the Associate of the Year Award. These prestigious awards are presented at the Annual Convention. We ask your help in nominating deserving individuals for these
awards. Nomination forms can be requested from the Federa- tion office at
lisahinton@floridafairs.org. The deadline for nominations is March 1st, 2014.
A note from Alta Mosley, 2013 Hall of Fame Inductee:
The Fair brings us together, traditions are formed and lifelong friendships begin. Look around your Fair, there are those people who go
quietly about their way, getting things done, always ready to lend a helping hand, answer a call for help with “how can I help you,” and gives the committee all the credit for a job well done. Take a little time, nominate that person for the Hall of Fame. It is an honor that not one of the past recipients ever expected but is treasured because it was given by their peers.
