3 DETAILS - Top Tool Bar & Main Tool Bar Example. Top tool bar remains locked at all times so when a user scrolls down the page, the tool bar is always visible.

4 As for the graphic between the two tool bars, We d like to see the full Fair logo (theme, & date) and countdown bar up there. Below is an example One thing we might run into is the banner ad at the top of the web page. Can the locked main bar go below this?

5 - Include drop downs on main tab page as a tool bar on right or left hand side of page. See example below

6 - Sub Tab Drop Down Example

7 - Make social media button uniformed in one color (either the blue or green to go along with 2015 fair logo). Example below - Remove social media buttons on bottom of page along with those located on sub pages - Include fair 2015 logo with dates and countdown on top bar (may need to make top bar larger) so that when a visitor is on sub page they can always see these items - Spice up the count down bar - Remove Facebook newsfeed on all subpages. Only keep on main page. - Include logo/image at top of website tabs. Example below - Change tab font to Dirty Headline font - Add Orange Missouri Counties graphic background to replace current white background - Please move Foundation Blue Ribbon from main page (in boxes section) to lower right hand corner of photo. Maybe in the blank black space the count down bar creates? - We would like to keep the content on the main page, below the scrolling photo. However, we are not crazy about the boxiness of it all. Can we redesign this section please. - For long sub pages, like Daily Highlights, we like the organization of the example below. The photos are alternated on either side, all information content is available to see (instead of hovering over) but the user can skim for main points.
