His work has focused on preserving the fairgrounds’ agricultural legacy while guiding it through modern transitions, including securing 501(c)(3) nonprofit status and protecting the 47-acre property through a perpetual open-space easement. Beyond administrative responsibilities, Broy is directly involved in operations, from coordinating sponsorships to overseeing facility improvements and event programming.
