The North Texas Fair & Rodeo (www.ntfair.com) kicked off Friday, August 16th. As one of our recently launched websites, we wanted to see what this event was all about and what support we could offer as they tried something new, SaffireScan (print-at-home tickets that are scanned at the gate with our App on any Apple Mobile Device)!
Kendra and Kirk showed up prior to the gates opening and were impressed to see the number of tickets sold online and printed at home, but were mostly blown away by the amount of traffic throughout the fairgrounds once the gates opened. Turns out opening night had a record breaking revenue for the fair! Below are Nanci Kimmey of the NTFair with Kendra along with an action shot of SaffireScan.
Jessica and Brandi from the team also came up, and the whole group got to meet the Josh Abbott Band and see their stellar performance!
The second day of opening weekend kicked off with the annual parade. Jessica and Brandi got front row seats as the parade route circled the town square. Drill teams, antique tractors, miniature ponies, and even Z-Donks (pictured – a breed of Zebra and Donkey) were featured in this local tradition; how crazy?!
The whole afternoon and evening Saturday were spent on the fairgrounds, eating the foods, talking with the people of Denton, watching the PRCA Rodeo from the Catwalk, and hanging out backstage at the Jack Ingram Concert! What a trip! Check out all of our photos from our trip on our Facebook page!

As Cassie traveled all across Florida last week she stopped in Starke, Florida to meet with the Bradford County Fair Board, a group we met during the Florida Federation of Fairs Convention in May. After her meeting with this friendly bunch they let us know that they too were ready to join the SaffireMovement! While we adore their continued use of strawberries in their marketing efforts and event branding, we are anxious to see how we can help them expand their online marketing with a new website. We are thrilled to add yet another nice, welcoming, and fun group of people to the Saffire client list, how charming!

The Saffire Movement continues with our 80th overall client, Firefighters’ Indian River County Fair! The opportunity arose to speak to these friendly folks at the Florida Federation of Fairs & Livestock Shows Convention in Naples, Florida.

They offer something for everyone, young and old, at their annual event at Vero Beach fairgrounds and attract around 50,000 fairgoers. What a pleasure it is to work with Firefighters’ Fair!

The West End Fair of Gilbert, PA joined the Saffire Team last week and we couldn’t be more excited! We met a few of their team members in January at the Pennsylvania State Association of County Fairs where we thoroughly enjoyed the cold weather they shared with us. More importantly, learning about this historic event (almost 100 years old) has been fun; 6 directors from 6 different townships, fairgrounds displaying stately oaks and majestic hemlocks, and their original mission statement that they still stand true to today. This fair has grown from 25 cents a carload and 4,000 attendees their first year, to an event that now the entire community comes to celebrate, and we can’t wait to help them continue expanding that growth!
Here’s a look at where we left our car because it was way too cold and snowy for these Texas girls to move it, whoops!
