Fair - Why Kids Love It





When my youth members were asked what their favorite part of the year was-- and these were members of all ages -- an overwhelming majority responded with Fair!

So why do kids like the fair? Well, it could be because of this photo. You get to hang out with your friends for 5 days straight. It is like one giant party, complete with every treat you could ever imagine: cotton candy, funnel cakes, fries, sno-cones, popcorn and more!

Some kids like the fair for other reasons. They like to bring work that they have created. I love seeing the talent that comes to the Fair! It gives you the warm fuzzy and goose bump feeling all at the same time. Take a look at this project - a bread-shaped cornucopia. Amazing!

I like the fair because it is a time for me to connect with all the youth members and catch up with their parents. Each year is unique, and etches memories that last a lifetime!
