Wow! What a night at the fair!

Despite the pouring down rain at times, the Pensacola Interstate Fair was very well-attended, thanks in part to the 75-cent admission fee. Rumor had it that it took an hour to get in to the fairgrounds parking lot at peak entry time!

Pen Air FCU, of course, was there and we had hundreds of people sign up for the $200 cash drawing and spin our prize wheel. In the photo above, Brynn Ammon, Business Development Officer for Pen Air FCU, assisted fair-goers in signing up for the drawing.

If you are planning to go to the fair this year, be sure to stop by the Pen Air FCU booth. We are right next to the Escambia County Sheriff's Office booth as you enter through the building to the fairgrounds - just look for the "Join It." banner! There, people of all ages can enter to win the $200 - we just need your name and phone number. We will only call you if you win. One entry per person per day, please.

As for the prize wheel, children and adults enjoyed spinning it, watching to see what prize they won: Halloween bag, pencil, bookmark or lottery scratcher ticket scratcher. Prizes are subject to change depending on availablity and one prize per day per person, please.
