Annual Forest Grove Children's Fair on May 12th

The annual Forest Grove Children’s Fair will be held Saturday, May  
12, 2007, on the campus of Pacific University. Pre-parade festivities  
begin at 9 a.m. with games, bubbles, chalk-art, decorating and  
dancing in front of the University Education Building on the corner  
of Pacific Avenue and College Way. At 9:50 we will parade up Main  
Street to the PAC (Pacific Athletic Center, a.k.a. the university  
gymnasium) where the fair will take place until 1 p.m. This parade is  
best enjoyed by joining in, so come dressed for fun and bring along a  
decorated wagon or banner and your favorite musical instrument!

The purpose of the Children’s Fair is to bring families together with  
organizations who provide services for young children, in celebration  
of community, childhood and the spirit of learning.

The Children’s Fair offers an informative day of creating, exploring,  
dancing, silliness and serious fun at booths sponsored by local  
organizations including preschools, extra curricular activity  
providers (such as dance, gymnastics, art and music) child safety  
organizations, Forest Grove city departments, and departments of  
Pacific University,

Everything is FREE thanks to the participating organizations, and  
generous local sponsorship as well as volunteer efforts of dozens of  
community members.

Hosted by Pacific University College of Education celebrating the  
Week of the Young Child.  This week is annually designated by the  
National Association for the Education of Young Children in order to  
focus public attention on the needs of young children and their  
families, and to support early childhood programs and services that  
meet those needs.
