Fair Game 206 - Courtny Conkle, Wyoming State Fair

Very rarely are people presented with the opportunity to be born into their career and spend their life learning all aspects of their trade. Fortunately, Courtny Conkle did; she is the youngest female CEO in California and at the Lake County Fair in Northern California and has acquired a plethora of knowledge throughout her years.  Getting to learn different trades in the fair from a very young age has helped Courtny throughout her career and given her the insight to project her career forward. Courtny has been on both sides of the fair as a concessionaire as well as in management, so she really knows the fair from the ground up! Tune in to this episode of Tailgate Entertainer to hear all of the brilliant ideas Courtny has to share with your host and co-host, Alan Bruess and Eric Haines.   Show Highlights:  Being born into the fair industry  Long-term goals for the fair industry  Contributing factors to becoming a fair manager  Areas that need re-adjustment  Building relationships in the community  Showing what you can accomplish  Eliminating old traditions  Bringing in entertainment that fits different demographics  Understanding the ripple effect   The importance of user-generated contact  Spending time advertising the right content  Relationships with younger vs older business people  Intertwining business with life  How people respond to the carnival stigma  Being able to empathize with all sides of the industry  Having people to mentor you  Internalizing what you’ve learned from others and how to apply it  Being a mentor and guide to others  How to suggest things to people that may help them  Coming into the fair industry knowing the industry  Resources: This show is sponsored by Super Science Company! supersciencecompany.com   SaveSave
