Our team couldn’t be more thrilled to announce our partnership with the Heart O’ Texas Fair and Rodeo in Waco.  It was clear from our very first meeting that HOT Fair was ready for something new and really caught the vision for what Saffire could do for their event.

Even though we hadn’t made the official announcement, we were glad Wes, Jarrod, J.D., Melinda, Devin, Michelle and Charles were able to join us for dinner in Las Vegas during IAFE.  It was a great chance for us to all get to know one another before we get started on this new project.

We’ll be working with HOT Fair to create an entire new online presence for their event located at the Extraco Events Center in McLennan County.  The 2012 Heart O’ Texas Fair & Rodeo will be October 4-13.

Don’t you think Emily Dressen and Jarrod Metzgar look great in their Saffire t-shirts?

Welcome to Saffire, HOT Fair!

Have you ever wanted a way to find detailed information about multiple fairs in one place?  Well, your solution has arrived!

Saffire is proud to announce that we have partnered with the International Association of Fairs and Expositions (IAFE) to sponsor a new kind of event calendar to promote the fair industry online.

Friends, we are happy to present Fairs Everywhere!

This one-stop-shop for fairs, vendors, sponsors, volunteers and patrons is built on the Saffire software platform that provides the very latest information people are searching for about events in an interactive format.

We officially launched the site yesterday at www.fairseverywhere.com, as well as the “Find Fairs Everywhere” tool on the IAFE website.

Our main goal is to enhance the online presence of the fair industry by introducing a user-friendly website that will allow the public to find information about fairs around the world in one place.

Better yet, all of the events on Fairs Everywhere can be filtered by region, date, “Our Picks” and “Fan Picks” so customers can quickly find what they are looking for.

Fairs Everywhere will also provide the name, description, date, time, cost, photos, social media outlets and website URL for each individual event.

We want to thank IAFE for partnering with us to create something impressive and unique for people interested in the fair industry.

We couldn’t have done it without you!

Give us a call at 512.430.1123 or email info@fairseverywhere.com so we can keep your event’s information as up to date as possible.

Congratulations to the Brazos Valley Fair on their official ribbon cutting last night!  It was a great evening filled with fair-food and lots of support from the community.  We were so glad we were able to be a part of the celebration.


Cassie enjoyed the yummy funnel cakes provided by Lazy B Catering.


Rebekah was happy that Brazos Valley supplied her favorite souvenir: koozies!


Don’t worry, the cowbells were a big hit too!


Travis Boeker, General Manager, told the audience that he contacted TAFE and they could not tell him the last time a fair started from scratch in the state of Texas.  What an accomplishment Brazos Valley!


Travis Boeker and Karl Hengst, Assistant Manager, join with the staff of the Brazos Valley Expo and members of the Board of Directors to officially celebrate the beginning of the Brazos Valley Fair.


Thanks to Brazos Valley for inviting us to be a part of your special evening!  We are grateful for our partnership and can’t wait to come back in 350 days for the beginning of your event!

South Texas State Fair Website is Live!

It’s a Good Time to Have a Great Time at the Fair! And we couldn’t agree more.

We recently launched a new Saffire Website for YMBL and the South Texas State Fair. Take a look!

This project presented some new challenges to our team and we were happy to provide YMBL with everything they were looking for in a webssite.

Because the focus of the website changes so drastically between fair season and the rest of the year, we created two very different designs for the site.  We wanted customers to know the focus immediately once arriving on the site so they could find what they were looking for quickly.  You’ll want to check out their site again in a few weeks to see the year-round design.

We incorporated our ecommerce platform into their site so they could sell tickets online for the first time. They can now accept payment online for tickets, vendors, sponsors and YMBL memberships.

This was our first time to create a “Member’s Only” section for one of our event websites.  The Member’s Only section allows YMBL members to update their profiles, pay for memberships and see upcoming community events as well as member specific events.

Now, you’ll just have to trust us on how good the Member’s Only section looks, because we can’t show you.  After all, it is Member’s Only!

We also helped The South Texas State Fair expand their reach with social media and already has over 100 Facebook fans!

Chris Colletti and his team at YMBL were a pleasure to work with and we can’t wait to hear about their successful event this year.
