Sensory Day offers fairgoers that are easily overwhelmed by sounds and lights to enjoy a day at the Fairgrounds without any stressors. Todd Vaarwerk from the American Disabilities Association Compliance team at the Fair tells us why the three hours are so important.

The highway is loud, the stakes are louder, and we still hit record. We're rolling south on I-90 in the Proud American Express, headed for the Erie County Fair in Hamburg, New York, and we're doing it on limited sleep, last-minute repairs, and sheer commitment to keep the podcast streak alive. If you've ever tried to build a small business while life keeps moving, you'll recognize every ounce of this pressure.We talk through the behind-the-scenes reality of preparing for a major vendor event: fixing a bus with expensive parts and tight timing, testing just enough to take the leap, and trusting the people who show up to help when the plan gets heavy. Then we get into the grind of inventory management for an apparel brand, including pushing hundreds of heat-pressed items into stock, launching new products, and trying to get everything organized before stepping onto the fairgrounds.But the real core is mindset. Vendor checklists, insurance requirements, sales tax certificates, tent rules, inspections, and potential fines can spiral into imposter syndrome fast, especially when you feel like you “mortgaged the farm” to take the shot. We say the quiet parts out loud, then walk through how we're handling the anxiety in real time: focusing on the next right step, leaning on faith, and choosing to grow through the stress instead of just going through it.If this hits home, subscribe, share the episode with a friend building something hard, and leave a review so more people can find these honest conversations.

That Don't Sound Right is a podcast about talking—the way we did before the internet, when you couldn't instantly prove anyone right or wrong and all the expertise lived in the people around the conversation. We hope you enjoy our conversations, and if you ever find yourself thinking, That Don't Sound Right, send us a comment. You're one of us. This week, Peter and Cecil take a nostalgic trip through one of America's most beloved traditions—the county fair. From prize-winning hay bales and giant gourds to elaborate LEGO creations, decorated vegetables, homemade crafts, baked goods, and collections you never knew people judged, they explore the wonderfully quirky competitions that make local fairs so memorable. Along the way, the conversation drifts into childhood memories, favorite fair exhibits, the surprising pride behind earning a blue ribbon, and the unique personalities that keep these hometown traditions alive. The hosts even share a memorable "Judge's Choice" story that proves sometimes the most unexpected entries leave the biggest impression. Why do people spend months growing the perfect pumpkin, arranging vegetables into works of art, or carefully displaying lifelong collections? Peter and Cecil celebrate the creativity, community, friendly competition, and simple joy that make county fairs a cherished part of small-town life. Whether you grew up walking the livestock barns, admiring the quilt displays, or heading straight for the funnel cakes, this episode is a fun reminder of why county fairs continue to bring generations together. Because somewhere between the giant zucchini, the prize-winning tomatoes, and the blue ribbon hay bale... you'll probably find yourself saying, That Don't Sound Right. #tdsrpodcast #ThatDontSoundRight #CountyFair #StateFair #BlueRibbon #SmallTownAmerica #Agriculture #FairSeason #Nostalgia #Community #LEGO #Homemade #CountryLife #FarmLife #Americana #LocalTraditions #FunnelCake #SmallTownStories Connect with us:
