MONTGOMERY County Fairgrounds

Meet our core team behind the scenes at Cloud Productions headquarters. Many hours of coordination, hard work, smiles and laughter make our shows and the Show News the success they have become. Cloud Productions is also fortunate to have many family members and friends who step in to help out. We all wish you a Happy Easter and Happy Mother’s Day. Look for the next issue of the Show News coming in May 2023!

It has been 2 years since my husband, Dean Mengert passed and not a day goes by that I don’t miss him. He was strong, brave and fought lung cancer for over 7 years. His love was strong and he would move mountains to make sure that all Cloud Production events were fun for all. He would drive my truck and trailers (with the help of some friends) to all the shows, so I had all my extra special details to decorate the shows. He would fix small problems when power was not working in a booth, make sure I didn’t forget to eat during the day or just tell a corny joke to make people smile during set-up and tear down. Dean never knew a

stranger and built so many friendships with the vendors over the years that it made it fun for him to catch up with everyone over the weekends. Bigger than life and full of love for the family and me. Don’t take a day for granted. Tell someone you love them.
