Best way for us all to make this event the best ever is to keep a positive mind set and open heart. We know the last 2 years have been extremely difficult on all of us and this community. With that said we will not tolerate any bullying, belittling, arguing or soap boxing at this event. This will be a safe place and we must keep this about the fair and us returning to state of abundance and well being as entrepreneurs.
