Program

Karissa Condoianis,
Director of Communications for the State Fair of Texas

We are delighted to welcome Karissa Condoianis, who oversees Public Relations for the State Fair of Texas. Karissa will share insights about this year’s Fair, what goes into planning it, how it evolves from year to year, and the story of how Dallas became home to this beloved tradition. She’ll also touch on the Fair’s rich history and offer a glimpse of what’s ahead. Karissa is a dynamic speaker, and we know you’ll enjoy hearing her behind-the-scenes perspective on one of Texas’s favorite events.

Please plan to stay after the meeting to help with the Christmas decorating.  We have the perfect job for you!

If you will not be at the meeting, you can still donate online.
