“Opening the gates that first day and having people come in and hosting my first fair here. Having that kid eat his first corn dog or see the carnival lights for the first time, or maybe go through the petting farm and get to interact with those animals.”

Andrea Wiesenmeyer took the reins as general manager at the Colorado State Fair late last year. She came to Colorado after managing the Jerome County Fair and Rodeo in Idaho and is now gearing up for her first opening day in Pueblo on August 22. The fair runs for 11 days, through Labor Day.
KRCC’s Shanna Lewis stopped by the fairgrounds to chat with Wiesenmeyer.
