NICA Update Kathy Ross, 2019 President
The object of education is not to fill a man's mind with
facts; it is to teach him how to use his mind in thinking. Henry Ford
NICA Business EXPO causes one to do a lot of thinking.
This year’s Expo and Fare Foods Food Show was very suc- cessful. The ever changing DOT requirements, insurance options and member benefits led us to provide educational seminars on these topics. With the timing of the Mid West Fair Managers meeting, the weekend before our EXPO it gave many fair managers and staff a reason to stay in Florida for a few extra days. NICA focused sessions with those fair management attendees in mind. Sessions such as Communications Committees-The Nationwide Buzz of having one; What keeps the prices of food down; Promo- tions that work and Food Trends, were presented on Tues- day. The Fare Foods food show brought new food items and new ideas to the NICA members. Fare Foods invited Robo Labs and their Floating Cotton Candy machine which gathered a crowd. Allied Ins. donates a $2500 cash prize that is drawn at the close of the food show and the winner was Mike Heffron, retired General Manager of the Minneso- ta State Fair.
One of my focuses for NICA this year is Generation For-
ward, a committee formed to address the needs of new concessionaires, new to the business and new to owner title with possible formation of a YPI type sub committee. The next generation of concessionaires faces different challenges than we veterans did and the goal is to support them in their en- deavors. The com- mittee had it’s first meeting in Tampa and we continue to determine what the committee will become. Please add the NICA Busi- ness EXPO/Fare Foods Food Show to your calendar and plan to join us next year. Together We Can Kathy Ross
