The Canfield Fair Board is welcoming Skye Tancer as the new Canfield Fair Manager, following the upcoming retirement of long-time manager, Bev Fisher.
Tancer proudly served in various roles with the United States Airforce in Ohio, achieving the rank of Senior Master Sergeant prior to her military retirement.
She made history as the first female Flight Engineer at the Youngstown Air Reserve Station in Vienna Township.
Most recently Tancer was a Development Officer for the Youngstown State University Foundation, where she focused on major gift procurement.
Skye is a results driven professional that believes in servant leadership and creating cultures that promote empowerment, innovation, and accountability.
In addition to her military accolades, she has a Bachelor’s degree from YSU and multiple associates degrees from the Air Force Community College. She is a member of the Junior League of the Mahoning Valley and sits on the advisory board for the Rich Center for Autism.
Dave Mannion, Canfield Fair Board president, thanked Fisher for her oustanding years of service.
“On behalf of the Board, we wish her a peaceful and relaxing retirement,” said Mannon. “Skye is the perfect successor to Bev, and I am excited to see how she will utilize her skills, connections, and experience to continue to move the Fair and Fairgrounds forward for the betterment of the Mahoning Valley.”
The Canfield Fair is the largest county fair in the state of Ohio and is celebrating its 178h year in 2024.
Revered locally as the official end of summer, the Canfield Fair runs each year for six days, ending on Labor Day.
