Fairs.com was founded in 2023 in Columbus, OH by people who have actually worked a fair gate — and got tired of watching fairs get squeezed by generic ticketing platforms. That simple motivation has morphed into a business model that's helping fairs of all sizes across the United States - including here in Wisconsin.

Pam Jahnke visits with Fairs.com founder/CEO, Scott Hillyer about how they got started, and where they hope to take the service.  Hillyer and his team were special guests at the 2026 WI Fair Association's Annual Convention.
