Chances are most of the KIT listening audience never received much in the way of formal money management education. It was left up to parents to share life lessons dealing with money. Maybe you got the mythical dollar allowance breakdown of setting aside 10 cents for the church, 15 cents for savings, 25 cents for necessities, blah, blah, blah..and maybe you didn t!
The bottom line is most of us are pretty lousy at money management. An article in Marketwatch from a couple years ago titled Five Facts That Americans Are Horrendous At Managing Money makes a pretty good case for the need of more and better education!
Fair Food Fest Found To Be Fabulous
The triumph of creativity over Covid nets Yakima s State Fair Park a first place award. In other words, when the Coronavirus hands you lemons instead of a 10 day fair run, make lemonade and sell it and a bunch of other fair food favorites at a unique drive thru event at the fairgrounds!
Congratulations to all the clever people who turned a State Fair disaster into a Fair Food success. The International Association of Fairs and Expositions (IAFE) organization took note of Yakima s Fair Food Fest drive-thru event held in September of 2020 awarding the park the First Place Award of Excellence in the Non-Fair Facility Usage.
