Randi Glazer Discusses the Value of Diverse Events Commonly Held in Madera

Community events are critical to ensuring a strong and long-lasting bond among friends and neighbors, and Randi Glazer has a great deal of experience in evaluating the true extent of the positive impact generated through frequent community events. For the purpose of offering an ideal example of how to properly organize events for all members of a community, Glazer cited Madera and the surrounding area as an excellent model for any other community to follow.

One of the most important factors discussed by Glazer relates to the value of hosting diverse events capable of appealing to all community members and offering the greatest opportunity to unite community members through an enjoyable and shared experience. In Madera, a single week of the community events calendar is likely to include a wide range of events that hold an obvious appeal to community members of all ages and backgrounds, no matter how unique or idiosyncratic their personal interests happen to be.

Glazer pointed out that over the course of just one week it was possible for a resident of the Madera area to choose to see a live performance of a concert pianist or to learn about and interact with a wide range of interesting animals by attending a zoo academy session. In that same week, residents had the opportunity to visit a local winery for a painting seminar or to attend a screening of a 1952 film starring John Wayne. With such diverse events likely to appeal to the whole of the community, Glazer believes that Madera’s strong sense of unity and kinship is likely to last for many years to come.

Music and Fun Always Expected at Annual Madera District Fair

With another successful fair in the books, many of those who attended the 2015 version of the event have already marked their calendars in anticipation of the 2016 Madera District Fair. Those who attended the most recent fair were treated to live music from Cheap Trick and Marshall Tucker, not to mention all of the other entertaining aspects attendees have come to expect year after year.

Since the next event is still some months away, there are surely many people looking at all of the blank spaces on their calendar leading up to the fair and wondering how they will pass the time. Through the assistance of experts like Randi Glazer and Arturo Alvarez Demalde, there is plenty of fun to be had in the months before the 2016 fair finally arrives.

“There are plenty of ways to make up your own fun, and it is often the games we invent ourselves that prove to be the most enjoyable,” says Demalde. “This is true for parents with young children and for groups of friends looking for an activity for a weekday evening. These made-up games can be absurd and spontaneous, making for an exciting time in which participants can be as creative as they like.”

Glazer also noted that made-up games create a shared experience that bonds the participants together in the same way that the fair does each year. The other benefit is the fact that everyone feels a sense of ownership over the game since they contributed to its creation, which in turn makes playing the game in the future even more fun. When the game spreads outside of the original group, new participants are able to share in the wholly unique experience and can even make contributions of their own.
