Greater Ohio Showmen's Association

President's Message Dear Members:

By the time this issue reaches you, Gibtown will be over. I hope those of you that attended had a safe and informative trip.

Our first board meeting after convention, held February 3, was long and intensive. We covered our March seminar, new committee assignments, goals and long-term objectives from the membership committee, O.F.M.A. Spring Dinner Awards, the hiring of our new secretary/treasurer and the trustee appointment to fill the seat vacated by Tom Linn being

elected second vice president, just to mention a few. The board voted unanimously to hire Dave Shires as our secretary/treasurer, with an

annual salary of $7,000 per year. The last article of business on the agenda was the appointment of a trustee to full the

vacant seat. This was something I did not take lightly. I spent a good portion of last month thinking, deliberating and talking with my board before making my decision. I appointed Ken Weber. The board members present voted unanimously to except my nomination. Some of the reasons for my decision are that Ken has undoubtedly been one of the hard­est working and most thorough member on the board. He was instrumental in working with the late Sonny Kissel on the development of our reverse raffle, which has been a great success for our organization. Ken is responsible for the procurement of our trade show booth and our initial involvement at the trade shows we now attend. The last three years Ken has shouldered the responsibility of most of our functions at Convention. Items that include creating seminar and round table topics, arranging speakers and moderators. Working with the O.F.M.A. on scheduling these events, our meeting rooms, the Gala and all the equipment needed for each one. Ken has also been the chairman of the committee for our March seminar. This seminar will have an enormous impact on our public relations campaign and be very beneficial to the organization. Congratulations, Ken.

I would like to thank Scott Kowatch, Chuck Zell and Bill Sterling for running for a trustees position this year. This type of willingness to commit time and effort will only help to insure the continued strength of our organization. Please don't be discouraged. 1 would like to see all of you try again next year. Each one of you have a great deal to offer this organization.

Last, 1 would like to thank Bill Bush for his years of service and hard work on the board. He will be missed and I hope he decides to run for a trustee position again in the future.

Yours Truly, Stan Connell, President G.O.S.A.

New Committee's Assigned The 2000 Committee Assignments have been made and we are all looking

forward to settling in and accomplishing our goals. We have many exciting plans for the coming year and will be filling you in on those each month in the Newsletter. A complete listing of Committee's, Committee Chairman and Members will be published in next month's issue.

OLD BUSINESS A. Ken Weber passed out copies of all the paperwork on the March

"Ticket to Success" seminar. It was covered in-depth with every ones assignments and the volunteers needed discussed and confirmed. Everything is going quite well. Bill Clinger reported that we have about SO entries now and they are coming in about two-four per day. On Wednesday, March IS it was decided to send pairs of G.O.S.A. members to the Statehouse to meet with every Senator and Representative just brief drop by to acquaint them with our associa­tion. Ray Prowant and Kevin Koski seconded. Motion carried.

B. Dave Shives will check on the By-laws ;:ll1d the best way to handle late paying dues members and how to handle member applications after the April board meeting. General discussion was to hold the checks and applications until the October meeting and they can be approved and give them a year and a half members for the first year.

C. President Stan Connell reported that it was time to hire a new secre­tary-treasurer. There was a shortage of applicants for the job. From past discussions with the boa.rd and the present treasurer it was moved by Jack Woods and seconded by Dean Otterbacher to hire David Shives for $7,000 per year. Motion carried unanimously.

D. David Shives reported that he would close out the phone in the Circleville office and would be picking up all the office furniture, equipment, supplies and historical mtifacts on February 10. He wi 11 order a new phone installed at the new office location of 5002 County Home Road, Greenville, OH 45331. The new phone number will be confirmed at the next meeting.

Bill Prowant rep01ted on convention recap and what changes need to be made for the 2001 convention. It was decided to move the starting time to 15 minutes later to avoid the problem with getting out of the OAA lun­cheonlate. Out of the Round Table discussions it was decided to keep: 1. Communication Committees; How Fairboards can communicate with exhibitor and concessionaire (NICA); 2. Policing concession and exhibitor contracts; Are they selling/doing what they contracted for (Dave Gallapoo; 3.

Know Who Your Customers are and market to them (This one possible name change) Bill Clinger. We are discontinuing What Happens When Fairs or Festivals Change Their Dates, (Ray Prowant) and Advantages of MUltiple Year Contracts for your Event (Jack Woods). General board feelings are that the cost of the seminars are more than the rewm'ds with the past attendance. Decided to possibly make the Fire Talk a round table.

F. Ride Safety - Ray Prowant had nothing to report. G. Newsletter - Todd Sipe reported on newsJetter errors and cOlTections,

updates and new information. The storage of our historical records was discussed and how to improve our records retention.

Showman's Shortcuts

Water Filter Holder Using a "whole-house" water filter to help improve the quality of the

water entering our trailer works nicely, but I could not find a convenient place to put the filter when in use. I would lean it against the fairground faucet or the tire of the trailer, and when it rained the filter got dirty. Even the ants got all over it.

To fix this problem, I went to my neighborhood hardware store and purchased an extra filter wrench and a drawer handle. I then mounted it to the side and bottom edge of the trailer, below the city water hookup. Making sure to locate the handle where it would have a strong mount. I then gently heated the filter wrench handle with a torch, bending it into a 90-degree angle.

The wrench is fitted into the drawer handle and the filter into the wrench. It holds the filter nicely off the ground and close to trailer. When not in use, I put the wrench and filter in the sink and the drawer handle rides nicely without sticking out far enough to pose any hazard on the road or to people walking by.

NEW TRUSTEE Todd Sipe

Greetings Fellow Showman' For those of you who don't know me my name is Todd Sipe, son of George & Maxine Sipe. My dad has been in the concession business since I was a wee lad and thus so have 1. Starting out in 1968 with a taffy tmck, I have fond memories of eating fresh hot taffy while my dad kicked the wrapping machine that once againjanuned up and quit. After a few years we bought a diner that served breakfast, lunch baskets and sausage sandwiches. My job was gradually upgraded from "Bun Cutter", a nickname that stuck with me WAY too long, to "Onion Peeler"! My dad met Augie DiRusso at Randolph Fair one day when one of them ran out of sausage buns (I'm sure it wasn't MY dad) and they started a friendship that led to us starting a route selling DiRusso Sausage. Thirty one years later Papa and I are still working side by side, I bought the business in 1985 so I could have all the "headaches and paperwork" and Papa could cut the buns and peel the onions. Today our whole family is involved. My wife Becky and her dad Bill mn our two ice cream bar trailers (our children Joey (6) and Bethany (5) are always eager to help eat the mistakes) while me, Papa, Mama and my wife's brother Bill Jr. and sons help 11111 our 4 sausage units.

You folks out there have also been like family to me and I believe we are pan of a growing and changing industry that we together shouId work to pro­mote and protect. By banding together and becoming active members of G.O.S.A. we could overcome many obstacles we all face each year. By sharing our resources we could have a list of services that we could all tum to in times of need. Ranging from reputable mechanics to where to dump your holding tanks! Buying power to save money on supplies, vehicles and insurance. The ability to disu'jbute our yearbook to every fair, festival, and special event committee so they can contact us. Create a website that makes all these resources more readily available. But most imponantly is having a strong association that can aid in protecting our rights as independent con­U-actors. Someone to help back you when you've been wrongly treated by a business or event.

I believe these things are velY possible if we would all lend a helping hand. This is why I ran for Tmstee of G.O.SA I think it's time to give some­thing back to the business that has given so much to me. I often hear people out there say ''Things aren't the way they used to be, evelyone is out for themselves." Well, I say we are all the same good people just Hying to make it on our own in a competitive world. The time has corne to start working together and we'll all reap the benefits of a strong organization.

Sincerely, Todd Sipe Sipes Concessions

Fair 259 173 Barb Otterbacher 137 Living An Active Life 174 Howard Stahl 2 175 Dave Gallapoo 195 It's certainly no secret that maintaining an active lifestyle is beneficial to your heath. Study 176 Kitty Keating 163 upon study provides proof that your mind, as well as your body, profit when you keep up a steady 177 Lois Gallapoo 244 pace. During our busy season staying active isn't usually something we have to be concerned 178 Windy Gallapoo 211

about. However, once the equipment is packed away and the temperature drops, there's nothing 179 Matt Gallapoo 209 180 Kate & Holly Redmond 13 like a few lazy days to soothe the soul. The problem is that too often the few days turn into weeks 181 Paige Titon 236 and we tend to lose our momentum and our bodies begin to pay the price. 182 Matt Pugh 104 Unfortunately our businesses respond to sluggishness in the same manner our bodies do. 183 Makenzie Stuckey 266

It becomes easy to 184 Gary & Shirley Duncan 60 185 Jeff Pugh 11 96 delay making that phone call or completing the contract that's been sitting on your desk. 186 Greg W. Myers 84 I am not implying that taking that much deserved time with our families, and leaving business 187 Doug Hanefeld 272 behind for awhile is not important. For our families should be our number one priority. 188 Anissa Prowant 232 Nonetheless, balance is the key, setting aside time for our families when we are busy and for busi­189 JoAnne Prowanl. 26
