A Bittersweet Announcement ❤️
For the first time in 14 years, you won't find Wagner Signs & Apparel with a merchandise booth at the fair.
This wasn't an easy decision. In fact, it was one of the hardest business decisions we've made.
When we first started setting up at the fair all those years ago, we didn't have a storefront. The fair gave us an opportunity to meet so many incredible people, build relationships, and grow our business one customer at a time. Many of you have been with us since those very first tents, racks, and tables.
Looking back at these photos brings back so many memories. Early mornings, late nights, unloading trailers, setting up tents, hoping for good weather, and getting to visit with all of you. Those years helped build Wagner Signs & Apparel into what it is today.
Today, we're blessed to have something we didn't have back then...our own storefront.
As we've continued to grow, we've realized we can give everyone a better shopping experience in our store than we can inside a crowded fair booth. More room, more inventory, better displays, easier parking, and the ability to offer more products than we could ever fit under a tent.
So instead of bringing the store to the fair...we're inviting you to come to the store.
🎒 Back-to-School Sale
Thursday, Friday & Saturday
We'll have great discounts, our largest Back-to-School selection yet, and plenty of room to shop.
We still encourage everyone to head out to the fair and support all of the local vendors. Community events like this are what make small towns special, and they only continue because people come out and support them. Be sure to stop by, enjoy the food, rides, entertainment, and check out the businesses that are there.
To everyone who has stopped by our booth over the past 14 years...thank you. You helped build this business. We truly wouldn't be where we are today without your support, your conversations, your purchases, and your encouragement.
This isn't the end of a tradition. It's simply the next chapter in our story.
We hope you'll stop by the store this Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, let us say thank you in person, and see everything we have to offer.
Those old fair tents helped build our business...now we're excited to welcome you through our front door.
With sincere gratitude,
The Wagner Family
❤️
