Fair Lady: Memoirs of a County Fair Manager (Paperback)

Description

When Frances Tepper, a mother of three and former 4-H leader, precipitously became executive director of the Monroe County Fair and Recreation Association in 1992, there were few women in what was traditionally a "good ole boys" network. Despite the obstacles stacked against her, she held the position for twenty years before she retired in 2012. With humor, candor, and lots of teachable moments, this memoir tells the true story of how Fran, starting as a bewildered novice, grew what was once called "an embarrassment to the industry" into one of the most innovative fairs in New York State.
