Longtime fair executive Tom Musser has joined the GF Strategies team as a project manager. Musser just wrapped up a 35-year career in the fair industry after five years as the manager of the Merced County (Calif.) Fair. Prior to that Musser was the manager of the Clark County Fair in Ridgefield, Wash., from 1997 to 2009.
His first project will be a visit to the Mississippi State Fair in Jackson this year. Musser will assess all of the food service operations as well as review the current layouts and pricing structures for vendors at this fair, now helmed by Rick Reno.
