President’s Message Dear TAFE Family, The Texas Association of Fairs and Events is a paramount institution that is ever growing and evolving. Your Board of Directors and Executive Team are hard at work taking us to the next level. The “new trail” that we are exploring is built on a strong foundation – that of our past leaders – our “old friends.” For 93 years, TAFE has brought strength and knowledge to this great state and forged the way this industry impacts millions of people. I applaud each and every one of you! You are producing fairs and events that make a difference – that not only bring joy, but financially strengthen your city, your county, as well as your TAFE community. I truly believe that the end product of our countless hours is the smiles on the faces of our fairgoers and the memories that bring them back year after year. Whether you provide the venue, concessions, carnival, radios, entertainment, lighting and sound, talent, or the endless components it takes to put on a successful event—YOU are the key element that makes all this work. I encourage you to take the time to look through this directory – call on these members – your “old friends” for advice and guidance. I urge you to visit other fairs around Texas, to capture ideas to take back to better your show. Our associate members are also here to provide you with the best ingredients to take you on a “new trail” through the many resources they have to offer. When looking to hire anything from advertising to special services – check here first! There are so many new things on our horizon. Be looking for newsletters and emails announcing the enrollment of the TAFE Executive Leadership School, plus we are very proud to be announcing our newest group, the Texas Young Professional Initiative. Details on these programs as well as updates on Convention programming will be forthcoming. Yes, friends, we ARE growing! With growth comes growing pains … and growing pains create change. Look at the exciting change we have already made by coming to Galveston. As we move forward, I urge you to email me with your thoughts and ideas. There is so much left to explore and I cannot think of a better group to walk that trail with. It has been my pleasure and honor to serve on the TAFE Board of Directors for the past eight years and I am beyond blessed to represent you as your President! Thank you for your trust and confidence as we journey toward 2020. With deepest gratitude, Nanci M. Kimmey nkimmey@ntfair.com

From Galveston to Houston to
College Station and all the way up to Amarillo, the Brandon McDermott Band has been bringing their exciting brand of Texas country music to stages across the Lone Star State. The Brandon McDermott Band released their first studio album titled “Mile Marker Zero” and just like their live shows, which continue to leave the audience wanting more, the album is chock-full of fun, energetic songs that are guaranteed to make their listener have a good time. From good ol’ fashion party songs, to songs about relationships gone bad, this album has something for everyone and has been getting great reviews from country music publications and industry people alike. Now the band is about to head into the studio to record their follow up album with Producer Adam Odor. The Brandon McDermott Band has played shows with many of Texas Music’s top acts including Stoney LaRue, Kevin Fowler, Cory Morrow, Reckless Kelly, Micky and the Motorcars, Josh Abbott Band, Aaron Watson, Dirty River Boys, Brandon Rhyder, Bri Bagwell, Sundance Head, Honeybrowne and even 90’s megastars Poison, plus many more. So no matter whether you prefer mud on your boots or sand between your toes, if you like Texas Music then the Brandon McDermott Band has something for you.
