The theme Fairs RISE was chosen for 2023. We will incorporate into IAFE activities throughout the year. Each letter stands for something important to our fairs. R – Reunite, I – Inspire, S – Support, and E – Educate.
​
A survey will be sent out later to collect information about the other letters but we are focusing all year on Inspire. Please share what inspires you, if you would like you can include a photo or video. We will feature the answers in Fairs & Expos magazine to keep us all motivated.
