Western Mass Business Show on 8.24.24 — Taylor Haas, Executive Director of the 3 County Fair

In The Western Mass. Business Show

Join us as we meet Taylor Haas the new Executive Director of the 3 County Fair in Northampton. She is a native of PA and came to the area just before Covid in 2019 with her family. She grew up in a farming community around horses and livestock and has put that to good use in her role at the fair. Her background in marketing has also helped her find early success and strong community outreach regionally. The fair runs from August 30-September 2 and is $15 for adults and free for kids 11 and under. Also, free parking is a draw along with free concerts, performances, activities, competitions, and more. Taylor can’t do it alone, with over 100 volunteers to make the fair happen it’s no wonder why it’s the longest running fair in the county. In it’s 207th year, it’s quite impressive to be able to say that they began in 1818. Other events include the Paradise City Arts Festival, the Morgan Horse Show, and All Sport Indoor Soccer Arena. Join us as we meet Taylor Haas and learn why we too should be at the fair this end of summer. Thanks for listening.
