The 2026 Dayton Fair is officially in the books!
We simply don’t have enough words to THANK YOU for the absolutely amazing week we had. This year just felt…different. We worked HARD—but we also laughed more, chatted more and had a whole lot more fun!
We tried so many new things: a fashion show, more clothes, a completely redesigned building. A LOT could have gone sideways…and it DIDN’T!
That’s because you embraced everything we tried. You SHOPPED—which we are beyond grateful for—but you also PARTICIPATED! You said so many wonderful things, gave us great input on new ideas, volunteered when we needed you (THANK YOU, models!), and allowed me to get to know so many of you better.
And that REALLY helps. It helps me choose better merchandise for you—but it also helps me personally. It makes being away from my family so much worthwhile. It gives me confidence to try new ideas. And it reminds me exactly why we do all of this.
So WE are incredibly grateful—but I, personally, am also VERY grateful.
THANK YOU for making this week everything it was…and then some.
Now, let’s do it again next year!!! ❤️
