Fair Game 212 - Dan Mourning & Antoinette Kulinna
New Mexico State Fair
Today’s guest joins us from Albuquerque, NM. Just about a decade ago, Dan Mourning took over as fair manager for the New Mexico State Fair. It took some time but Dan’s vision combined with a strong team at the fair changed the entire environment of the NM State Fair. It shifted from a fair which was in poor financial shape and felt unsafe to the community, to a fair that was on firm financial footing and welcoming and safe for all fair guests. Frankly, it was a miraculous turn around. We talk with Dan Mourning today about the challenges he faced as a new fair manager all the way to the challenges of 2020.
