Everything was the team ... not one person.

I thought about what I had to do there. Everybody was into it. My whole team was rooting for me.

We came on strong right after the half. We were scrappy and all over the floor; everybody was working as hard as they could.

A food vendor told me they were within $500 of their previous year's entire fair sales within the first two days.

The community has embraced the fair this year.

At some point in your career, maybe you, too, have made the life-altering decision to start anew. If so, you know first-hand how exciting, challenging, and sometimes disorienting the first 30, 60, 90 days can be.
