Comments from ShoWorks Customers
"I want to say that Online Entry is AWESOME! So many people have been telling us how great it is... I cannot tell you how easy it has been for me to get it set up and going. Thank you for saving me HOURS of work."
Molly Kay – Island County Fair (WA)
"I just LOVE your program. The guys on the stockshow board think I do some kind of voodoo magic to get things done so quickly. I thought I was going to have to resussitate one of them the first year when I had the sale order set correctly within 5 minutes of our last class showing. It is great."
Krista Davis, Hansford County Stock Show (TX)
"I cannot believe all the different ways ShoWorks can handle and personalize a sale…much better than any sale program I have used in my 17 years of billing for a 4-H/FFA Market Animal Sale. I don't think there is a sale out there that this program cannot handle the way they want to run it."
Helen Malone, Custer County Fair (ID)
"One of the greatest advantages to ShoWorks is the program is built on Microsoft Access. The companion program (that comes with ShoWorks 2006) allows the user the flexibility to use the power of Microsoft programs to both get data in and out of ShoWorks. This is a very valuable tool and a great time saver in building the database for our fair. Examples include pasting almost 3000 classes in the data base from Excel. The ability to analyze data from a report in Excel is a tool we have put to use many times."
Bill Gay, Johnson County Fair (KS)
"Just a word of praise. I really like the features that you have in the reports section of ShoWorks 2006. I can do anything now!"
Greg Glisczinski, Clark County Fair (WI)
"I just wish I’d taken the plunge earlier! The Quick Entries feature is huge,
mainly because I can save different layouts. It’s really going to streamline
how we’ll do things. Great job on the updates. Lots of little things that are
really cool."
Thane Barnier, Sioux Empire Farm Show (SD)
"I have just recently upgraded to Showorks 2006. I love
it. The ease of getting our entries in is so simple. My helpers have loved it.
The personnell at Fairsoftware have been so helpful. They were visiting with me
at 9:30 p.m. to get me running on the new program. This was the night before
our show started. Thanks again for a great product and support."
Vicki Bowen, Nolan County Livestock Assn (TX)
"Having someone who makes tech support so available makes my job much easier! I’ve been through Fairs where we had to wait over 24 hours for the computer company to call us back. It just doesn’t work! You do such a good job of taking care of us and I really do appreciate your help – especially this time of year. "
Allison McEwen, Arkansas State Fair (AK)
"We completed our 4-H livestock auction on Saturday and found the new-and-improved version of Showorks to be better than ever, particularly with respect to buyer check-out procedures. We also operated over a wireless network, and our 8-hour sale moved along without any hardware or software hiccups."
Randall L. Dickson, Marshall County Fair (IN)
"I reviewed several choices, purchased the program, and
the bottom line... it works, its slick, and the investment is well worth it."
Dr. James Woolf, Tipton County Fair (IN)
"We have used ShoWorks for 4 years now and couldn’t be
more pleased. This will be our 3rd year to take entries on-line; it virtually
eliminates manual data entry. We have made several changes in our show process
in the last couple of years and ShoWorks’ flexibility has made the changes
seamless. It is straightforward, logical and just makes sense. We highly
recommend ShoWorks."
Trey Hamlett, The Star of Texas Fair and Rodeo (TX)
"Once we moved to the ShoWorks software, all hardware and
internal database crashes and errors disappeared, allowing us to focus on more
important managerial issues rather than the software problems that used to
plaque us before."
Ken Andrejak, Delaware State Fair (DE)
"What a great fair we had and all the girls who do my
entries and auction loved the showorks program. Our auction was $1,088,465.74.
It was really great to have the auction balance right from the get go."
Shirley Williams, Santa Barbara County Fair (CA)
"We are very pleased that we picked ShoWorks. It is truly
rare to have such prompt, attentive, and knowledgeable service. Not once did
they have the attitude that once the program was paid for, the duty was
performed. We could not have made our deadlines if not for GladStone standing
behind their promises."
Felder T. "Tom" Houser, III, Sarasota County Fair (FL)
"I just returned from our monthly livestock meeting and
the Showorks reviews are in. Everyone loved the promptness of the results and
how efficiently that the results were listed and categorized. The points and
premiums totals saved so much time, I can't tell you how much this program has
done for our Expo. We are not only going to use it for the fairs and Expo, but
for our yearly projects, because of how efficiently it sorts and produces
reports. As you can see I can't say enough about Showorks. And I haven't even
begun to rave on how great the support is, the prompt, and kind responses are
so reassuring it."
Jackie Carter, Sabine Fairs & Festivals Association (LA)
"Wow! I loved the ease of the program! Everyone was very
pleased with the paperwork and how smoothly everything ran. I would like to
thank everyone with ShoWorks for developing the program and for all your
assistance, even for a little fair like ours. You've always been very helpful
and kind and I appreciate it very much."
Barbara Rigsby, Brooks County Fair (TX)
"I just wanted to take a minute tonight to say thanks a
lot for your assistance with your program. Support is a big thing to me when it
comes to the programs I purchase... You've been great to work with and the
program works great also. Thanks again."
Billie Jo Boothman, Eastern Oregon Livestock Show (OR)
"We really enjoyed the program. We felt like it was a
very good investment for our fair. Bills last year didn't go out for 3 to 4
weeks, and this year they were ready in about 2 days."
Gene Robins, Calhoun County Fair (TX)
"The Jr. Livestock Auction held during the Kern County
Fair is one of the largest in the United States. Over 1,000 animals are
auctioned during three days and net sales are well over $1 million. ShoWorks
enabled us to operate the 1998 Auctions with an expertise and ease that
surpassed all expectations. This program is user-friendly; was easy to
implement under some very adverse conditions; saved many man-hours before,
during and after the Auctions; and tech support was very accessible. The Kern
Co. Jr. Livestock Committee highly recommends the use of ShoWorks to all Fairs,
no matter what size!"
CeCe Westerfield, Kern County Jr. Livestock Auction Committee
(CA)
"I set the whole show up in a couple of hours, even after
a bunch of changes at the last minute. It took almost 6 hours last year typing
and retyping. ShoWorks allowed us to go to bed at a decent hour!"
Jimmy Curtis, Four States Fair (AR)
"ShoWorks is worth every penny!"
Kathy Bailes, Throckmorton County Livestock Show (TX)
"It is an excellent program. Thank you again!"
Julie Korns, Carroll County Fair (OH)
"The fair went well, your program is great, especially
considering none of us had used it before the fair except to look at the
different screens in the sample file."
Sandy Lunderville, Santa Cruz County Fair & Rodeo Assn
(AZ)
"I was so pleased with how smoothly the merging of
information went in ShoWorks that I am still glowing from it!"
Muriah Walker, Coos County Fair (OR)
"We are so pleased with how ShoWorks performed for us."
Diana Cosper, Wharton County Fair (TX)
