year, Executive Director Glenn Carlton said they’re moving forward with adjustments.
“As event planners, you want it to be perfect. You want everything to be perfect, the way you set it up and the weather, but we never can control that,” said Glenn Carlton. To help fairgoers cope on the hottest day North Texas has seen in more than a decade, Carlton said the fair’s doubled EMT staff and has volunteers handing out free water.
Most notably, it’s delaying the opening of carnival rides until 7 p.m. or whenever surface temperatures cool.While daytime crowds were small, those who’d braved the triple-digit heat sought relief in the form of entertainment housed under some of the fair’s 30,000 square feet of tents. “There are these fans here, so we tactically came and found this fan here so we can eat while the show’s at 5:30,” said Mark Madrigal.
