Time For Family Fair
A great family event will be held Friday and Saturday, September 19th and 20th. The Time For Family Fair, at the Skamania Fairgrounds, features a Friday Night dance with Radio Disney’s Team Disney entertaining and hosting the event. Some of the other fun activities will be family games, scavenger hunts, a petting Zoo (from the Oregon Zoo), water golf, a Family Talent Show, Family Price is Right (sponsored by A&J) and inflatable bounce houses and pony rides. The North Bonneville Business Association will be providing an Outdoor movie on Saturday evening (indoor if it rains), and the Stevenson and Carson Business Associations have been challenged to come up with their own activities to add to the fun. The Girl Scouts are working on an activity to do.
If any of the 4-H groups would like to host an activity, contact Carolyn Miller. We are looking for activities where the whole family can be involved, if possible. Some examples might be a relay or other outdoor game, Tug-of-war, a hands-on educational activity, karaoke, a game show (like Family Feud) but any idea that fits your group would be considered. Their website is www.familyfair.org. Email carolyn@familyfair.org for more information, or to suggest things you would like to do.
