3rd Annual Fair Partner’s Shootout
IT WAS A FRIENDLY FAIR FAMILY SHOOTOUT! HELD DURING FLORIDA WEEK
Thanks to the support and cooperation of many people, including NICA,
OABA, and the Florida Federation of Fairs, the 3RD Annual Fair Partner’s Shootout was a great success! It was a beautiful Florida day with temperatures in the 70’s, sunshine, and a great day to be outdoors! With over 60 shooters and over 20 spectators and guests, the sky reverberated with the sound of thousands of rounds of ammunition being shot at sporting clays that were com- ing from every angle and direction! The concept for the Shootout started with the idea that there was a need for a
networking event in February when so many of the Fair industry associations were in town for their national meetings. The Florida Federation of Fairs, NICA and OABA joined in with their support and help. All three organizations promot- ed the event through communication with their members. Our thanks to Jeff and Kathy Ross with Ross Concessions who worked dili-
gently on behalf of NICA to round up silent auction items, promote the event to potential shooters and sponsors, and assisted with all aspects of the event. Also thanks to Bob Johnson who rounded up the support of OABA and those that participated squeezed it into an already tight schedule of events for that week. The Florida Federation of Fairs was also well represented with numerous Fair teams. It was also a special treat to have Marla Calico, IAFE CEO and Presi- dent, and Rick Vymlatil, IAFE Chairman to join us for the shootout. The winners of the Shootout were as follows: 1st Place Team – Collier Coun-
ty Fair; 2nd place team – Reithoffer Shows; 3rd place team – Belle City Amuse- ments Team; 4th place team; Ray Cammack Shows, Inc.; 5th place team – Strates Shows/Lake County Fair Team; 6th place team – Lake/Pasco & O’Briens Food Service Team.
