My project will be to investigate how the Bloomsburg Community and the Bloomsburg Fair Association has been affected by the cancelation of the fair in this past year due to the coronavirus pandemic. I think it would be an interesting project for Bloomsburg students and Pennsylvania residents that attend and enjoy the fair annually. I hope to conduct interviews with the Bloomsburg Fair Association, the Bloomsburg Program Board to see their involvements with organizing or advertising the fair, and students who have experienced the fair. I plan to include video and audio in my interviews and footage of the fair grounds.
This video can be a good source of questions I have for the Bloomsburg Fair Association. I have been wondering how a year off will impact them financially and this video provides a good information and that and can be a gateway to follow up research questions.
