“We absolutely couldn’t have anticipated winning this award, but we’re unbelievably happy to accept it. It means a lot to our team who works so hard. And we are humbled by WFA, for giving companies like ours, that don’t have the tenure of so many incredible people in this room, the opportunity for such a high honor.”
Those were just some of the words spoken by Jeremy Emerson under bright lights as he graciously accepted the 2014 Barham Award from Western Fairs Association on January 8th, 2014 in sunny Anaheim, California.
The Barham Award is presented in honor of Hot Dog on a Stick founder Dave Barham, and recognizes innovation, quality and leadership in the field of service. The award is extremely high praise and has been presented annually at the WFA convention since 1996. Our team is honored to join the ranks of some pillars of the fair industry.
We were doubly honored to accept the award from WFA’s Vice President, Troy Bowers with Amador County fair, who was Saffire’s 11th client and an early adopter of the Saffire movement.
Jeremy took his opportunity on stage to thank WFA member fairs that use Saffire and talk to the membership briefly about innovation and Saffire’s approach within the fair industry.
We can’t thank WFA enough for this honor and recognition. We would do what we do without the accolades, but this is a great shot in the arm to continue to provide fairs of all sizes with an opportunity to market themselves online smarter.
Saffire is also proud to have WFA on board as a client, along with the following WFA Member Fairs:
Amador County Fair
Napa County Fair
Chowchilla-Madera County Fair
