Welcome to the new Shippensburg Community Fair Blog, which we will use to post official news and announcements, as well as information and thoughts on offseason events and more!

So why the blog you may ask?  Well, creating news releases and announcements on the site wasn’t the easiest task up to this point.  We had to create a brand new page and find a way to efficiently and effectively link to that page.  Not only was this tedious for us, but visitors could not go back later and easily find this type of article once it got bumped off the homepage or wherever it was linked from.  The blog solves this problem since it allows us to organize posts into categories and also allows you, the visitor, to organize posts by date or by searching for them.

In addition, we’ve been looking for a place where we can post ideas and thoughts that aren’t really considered “press release worthy”.  For example, we’ll be posting information on how the fair operates in the off-season, meeting information, how you can contribute, etc. in the upcoming months and the blog is a great place to do this.

Although it can be difficult during the off-season, we’ll do our best to update the blog frequently with items that may be of interest.  Many people do not realize that the planning of each annual fair is a year-long process, so there are always things going on, even in the middle of winter.

As always, if you have an idea or suggestion, please drop us a line.  Whether, you see something that you like or don’t like, or if you want to see more of something, we always love to hear your feedback so we can make it even better.  Feel free to leave comments on posts as well so that your thoughts can be heard by others.

Thanks for reading!
