Annual Fun Fair Draws More than 1,000

The Fun Fair at the Library on Wednesday was a hugh success with 1,093 people! That is a record number and it was certainly worth all the planning and efforts that went into it.

I want to thank Julie for the usual good job in coordinating the event with the assistance of Pat Wise. Again, the Parent Centers' staffs came through and we could not do this without them along with Board members who participate. A special thanks is extended to Ebenezer Pentacostal Holiness Church in South Congaree for again allowing us to use their trailer for transporting tents, supplies, tables, etc. to and from the library; (and we can't forget the driver, our own Board Chair, Gina Henderson, whose husband is a Pastor at the church!). Many hands are required in an event of this size, and this is a great example of the "partnership" which characterizes First Steps. - Jim Riddle

Here are some photos from the event.

Camel rides are always a big hit at the Fun Fair.
