Faircracker SUMMER 2021
Well Fair season is in full swing, and I cant be any happier that things are open and moving towards some sort of resemblance of normalcy, the new norm that is. I want to start out by saying I'm sad I missed the Convention in Naples, but bet your boots I'll be there in 2022. The YPI couldn't be more thankful for the support received with the YPI Mix n Mingle Pre-game Tailgating BBQ, as well as the Cornhole raffle and YPI sponsored silent auction basket. Congrats and thank you to Waylon Wilson, a YPI committee member, and St. Lucie County
fair volunteer, for your generous donation for our "Sweeter than a Georgia Peach" Basket. And congratulations to Melissa Alexander, with St. Lucie County Fair, on her raffle win of the Cornhole boards, I'm sure they'll get used. The biggest thank you of all goes to Karah Panaro (Martin County Fair), Jacqueline Stough (Central Florida Fair) and
last, but not least Brian (North Florida Fair) for stepping in on short notice to fill the void left by myself and Andrea. These three ensured success and fun for all by hosting the events and seeing them through in our absence. I can't thank them enough and look forward to working with them in years to come! For 2022 YPI is on the lookout for our next Charity, I'd
like to have one picked or a direction for one by October 2021. If you have any charity you know of that has a need that we can assist with please reach out to me, Nicole Jones 772-342-2633. Also keep in mind any fair members under the ago of 40 can join the YPI committee and help grow our future fair leaders. I am always available for ideas and input, if any don't hesitate to email
Njones30@outlook.com or call at number listed above. Looking forward to next year and seeing all our success going forward. Thank you to NICA for sponsoring our YPI Tailgating BBQ.
