Some people leave such a lasting mark on the Fair that, even after they’re gone, it sometimes feels like they’re still here. ❤️ Roy Danner Sr. was one of those people. For years and years, Roy was a very special part of our Fair family. His presence and the memories he made here became part of the fabric of The Great Allentown Fair. And as we get closer to another Fair week, we find ourselves thinking about him a little more.

Roy’s legacy at the Fair continues through his son, Roy Jr., and the Danner family, who remain such an important part of what we do. It's heartwarming to see that connection carry from one generation to the next.

We miss you, Roy. We wish you were here to see another Fair come together. But in so many ways, it still feels like you are. ❤️
