Welcome from the President

Dear Friends of Fort Bend County Fair:

Welcome to a New Year, its going to be a great one for the Fort Bend County Fair! We are excited about the wonderful things in store for the Fort Bend County Fair this year. Our theme this year surges to provide our visitors with a greener scheme of becoming environmentally friendly. Our past history reflects on remembering the people and ideas that allowed us a fair to grow to where we are today in order to provide our youth with a better tomorrow. “Conserve our Resources, Provide for our Future” is this year’s theme due to the Fair’s tremendous heritage that is epitomized in our Honorees from the past, present and future. Last year alone, we generated $708,745 from Auctions that were returned to Fort Bend County Youth and $67,700 was given in scholarships for general, agricultural and vocational high education endeavors. Fort Bend County benefits directly from the Fair’s investment in its youth.

This year, in order for us to progress forward, we need to protect our resources. Our goal is to move towards utilizing more recyclable items and encourage our visitors to recycle. Trashcans with the recycling logo will be available throughout the grounds. We are hoping to recycle aluminum cans, cardboard, plastic cups, grease and animal matter. Through this effort, we will save money allowing more to be given to our youth.

Last years changes in ticketing procedures were a success overall, our partnership with the ticketing company will bring success in the future and bring more efficiency to the system. The wonderful new gatekeepers committee worked hard to maintain traffic flow and bring efficiency to the entrances. You will see more options with online ticketing this year which can be directed to individual Queen Candidates as well as the continued ability to buy individual tickets presale.

Events for the Fair begin with the Style Show on August 28, 2010. Come out and see the Queen Candidates and local celebrities “Strut their Stuff” at Safari Texas. Last year Grapes on the Brazos moved to a new venue and was standing room only for much of the Fair. It will be exciting to see what they have planned for this year. The recently expanded pavilion opened up additional area for those wanting to enjoy and watch the Entertainment. Rumor has it that we will be showcasing great talent again this year. Stay Tuned for the announcements….. The move of Senior Citizens Day to the Monday preceding the Fair made for a successful event as well.

September will be here sooner than you realize. Get your boots, hats and jeans ready to come celebrate a fantastic fair. We will be ready with Auctions, the Carnival, Entertainment, Rodeo and all the food, fun and excitement of the 74th Annual Fort Bend County Fair.

A special thanks in advance to my office staff who has to put up with my second job, and to Carl, my “First Dude” who puts up with late night meetings, attending events constantly and being drafted to Parking Lot duty. There is no way I could do this job without his love and support.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Duff Drozd, President
