Weddings

Posted in Events, Uncategorized at 5:40 pm by Administrator

It is another beautiful day at the Fexpo and I can’t help but wish I was outside in the sun shine instead of in my tiny windowless cubicle. However, “the show must go on” and we have a meeting this afternoon with a young engaged couple. Looks like all of Tom’s work with the Wedding planner might be finally paying off.
As I prepare for this meeting I can’t help but look back 5 years to my own nuptuals. I had never been more excited in my life. It was a beautiful August day, the PGA tour was in town and all was right with the world for a couple of hours. Watching my bride walk down the aisle with her father, I had never felt such a rush of excitement, joy, love, or anticipation. Nothing else even comes close. I do reminiss, but I just can’t help it this time of year.
Back to the future, 2009 and beyond. Putting together a package for this couple’s wedding is fun and hopefully it leads to many more of the same. It is great to be part of their day and add, in some small way, to the event. I have to remember to tell the bride-to-be to bring a pair of slippers to change into. It kept my wife’s feet feeling great and it only made her an inch or so shorter! She had a great time showing her slippers off to the other people on the dance floor.
Until next time, stay young and in love!!

August at the Fexpo

Posted in Uncategorized at 10:29 pm by Administrator

August at the Fair and Expo Center is a time of recovery and planning. We are recovering from July’s Monroe County Fair and putting the finishing touches on planning for the rest of this year and next. The event calendar is a little sparse at this time of the year, though we do have Sermon on the Mount at the Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack Horse Arena this Friday evening.

When I walked in the office this morning I saw a giant purple Being laying on a box of soccer balls. Ordinarily this would worry me, but I quickly realized it was just our mascot “Fairus” resting on a box of prizes from the Kids Art contest sponsored by Unity Health.

I guess you just never know what you are going to see at the Fair and Expo Center. However, if you check back here often, I will try to keep you updated onthe major goings on as well as some personal comments and observations. I also look forward to reading soome of your comments about events and ongoing life at the Fexpo.
