Ducey Seeking Public Input On Arizona State Fair

Gov. Doug Ducey wants to know how you feel about the Arizona State Fair. His office is looking for ways to improve this annual event.

It’s a quick survey with only two questions: what do you love about the Arizona State Fair, and what could be done differently?

Wanell Costello is the executive director of the Arizona Exposition and State Fair.

"Everyone who comes to the fair enjoys it and we just want to be able to continue to provide a great product and a fair that the state is proud of and that we can continue to grow and really get bigger, get better," Costello said.

Costello says some of the challenges facing the State Fair are size, parking and aging infrastructure. The Governor’s Office is also asking the public’s help when it comes to updating the state’s regulatory system.
