Update...

This past Thursday the Oklahoma State Fair started. On Thursday you could get in for $1.00! Not bad! Of course once you get in you spend who knows how much for the rides, the food(that went up once again), and the things you want to buy. My favorite part of going to a fair is looking at all the exhibits and companies that come out to show you their stuff. I also LOVE freebies! :) The company I work for usually has each of their stores go to the local fair that is going on. Well this year that didn't happen. The company decided to update the computer system and since they wanted to do that before the holiday rush they decided to do it this summer. Well come to find out the new system some way doesn't transmit to the fair. I guess some technical thing. I don't know. I do know that the company is going to lose millions of dollars. OUCH!! I'm sure by next year they have a plan for going to the fair. Then again maybe not. Also not only are they losing this money but each store is getting flat bed after flat bed of fair stuff that they would normally take out and use/sell. Well you may be wondering what are they going to do with it all? Ahhhh..bring the fair inside! Our store is having a party/inside fair on the second floor and they have freebies, popcorn, pretzels, music, balloons and all that fun stuff. So far I think our store's inside fair is doing pretty good. They had an increase in sales yesterday so well see. Hope everyone has had a good week!
