The fair offers educational lessons, hands-on interaction with real –life
concepts and experiences. This year there will be new exciting exhibits to
complement the usual neat areas. Personally, we like the big cows and
little pigs as well as the shopping area. Be sure to have dad meet you
there after work. If you want to go to the fair, this is the time to do it. It is
not crowded which gives you time to view the exhibits. Take plenty of
money if you want to eat there, it is not cheap (but it can be good), or
bring your own food and eat at the picnic area by the Garden Building.
(Kid’s Meals are available from vendors displaying a Kid’s Meal sign for
approx. $4.86). Take a free milk certificate and parking pass from the
field trip book.
