duval county fair 2013The cotton candy is twirling, the Tilt-A-Whirl is whirling, and the fun houses are funning around! Yep – it’s that time of the year again! The Duval County Fair is back in town and people are having a ball celebrating and taking part in all of the festivities! Special guests and various musical acts have all been planned for entertainment, an assortment of animals have arrived, countless contest’s are going on and dozens of food trucks and game stands are setting up shop and getting ready to service the crowds.

With a ton of other vendors setting up shop and catering to the masses, make sure that you’ve got what you need to stand out in a crowd! Here at Holmes Stamp & Sign, we’ve been servicing the Jacksonville area (as well as the rest of the country) for quite some time! Duval County is home to us and if we can help our friends and neighbors with their business – whether it’s strictly seasonal or year round, we would love to be given the opportunity to try!

Out of all of our available products that we do here, when county fair season rolls around we do a lot of business by selling our banners to vendors! Available in multiple sizes, and capable of high quality, vibrant colors and pictures, our signs will be sure to set you apart from the rest of the flock with ease! Unlike traditional standalone signs, banners are perfect for the business on the go. Setting your banner up and taking it back down can be done in minutes, and when the day or the event is over, simply fold it up and store it away until next year. Our banners last year after year and will be sure to help you keep business booming!

Being a Jacksonville based company, every year many of us here at Holmes Stamp, gather our families and head out to the fairgrounds to enjoy a day or night of family fun. We go on rides, and take part in the games and contests, sometimes we even get our faces painted – ok maybe WE don’t but the kids sure do! While the rest of the world is constantly evolving and changing, and our kids get wrapped up in various new social media platforms, there becomes fewer and fewer things that seem to bridge the age and culture gap between us and our kids. The annual county fair just so happen to be one of those things. The rides may have changed, as well as the faces of the individuals who operate them – but no matter how old we get, we’re still able to hold on to those memories that we have of our parents taking us to the fair every year – and what’s even more special is that our parents, can remember their parents doing the same thing.

Over the years the county fair has become more of a tradition than anything and we love taking our families there to join in the fun and relax! Want to join us? The Duval County Fair is in town this week only – the last day being the Sunday November 16th. Don’t miss out and have to wait around a whole other year to get your family in on all the fun!
