Fair Systems That Work
with Kryssie Thomson
Powered By Smile Inside Out Consulting
If your fair runs on memory, sticky notes, and late-night texts, you’re not alone.
​
Most fairs, exhibitions, and rodeos aren’t short on passion.
They’re short on systems.
​
When everything lives in one person’s head or one ancient binder, burnout hits fast, and knowledge gets lost.
That’s where Fair Systems That Work comes in.
​
Together, we help you turn chaos into clarity, building repeatable systems that protect your legacy, support your people, and keep the show running smoothly year after year.
​
Because your fair shouldn’t survive on heroics.
It should run on systems that work.

What We Do (Together)
If your fair, exhibition, or rodeo runs on memory, sticky notes, and “we’ve always done it this way,” you’re not alone.
​
Fair Systems That Work helps you bring order to the chaos, building systems that protect your legacy, support your people, and make next season easier before this one’s even done.
​
We don’t just hand you templates.
We help you build a way of working that actually fits your event and your team.
​
From Fair Audits that show where the gaps are, to custom handbooks and operations systems that keep everyone on the same page, everything we do is about one thing: helping your fair run smoother, year after year.
​
Because your fair deserves to run on calm, not chaos.
Who You're Talking To
I’m Kryssie, a third-generation fair kid who never really left the grounds.
​
I’ve spent over twenty years on my local fair board, sat on the national board as a fair member, and now serve as a service member across most provincial associations, including the BC Fairs Board.
​
Before Fair Systems That Work, I travelled coast to coast delivering Animal Care workshops on behalf of the Canadian Association of Fairs and Exhibitions.
What I learned was simple. Every fair has heart, but not every fair has systems that protect it.
​
That’s why I built this arm of my company.
To help fairs, exhibitions, and rodeos capture their legacy, build systems that last, and make sure no one burns out trying to hold it all together.
​
Because I’ve been where you are.
And I know it can be easier.
Where We Start
Every event is different, so we start with a Fair Audit, your roadmap to clarity.
There are three levels, depending on how deep you want to go:
​
-
Quick Check-Up – A snapshot of where your systems stand and where you’re losing time or volunteers.
​
-
Standard Audit – A full review of your operations, communication, and volunteer structure with actionable fixes.
​
-
Full Reboot – A complete overhaul that rebuilds your systems, tools, and team flow from the ground up.
​
Each one ends with a real conversation, not a report that sits on a shelf.
