The Spring Youth Fair opened at 5 p.m. Friday, May 3, at the Southwest Washington Fairgrounds following final preparations.
Chronicle photographer Kody Christen stopped by Friday morning as organizers were putting the finishing touches on the local tradition.
Friday through Sunday, visitors can view a wide variety of living and still-life exhibits, including art, science projects, baked goods and more from area youths. Attendees can also sample fair foods and fares from local vendors and partake in activities such as putt-putt golf and rock climbing.
The fair operates on the motto “kids are special, fairs are fun” and aims to provide a fun learning experience for all youth — regardless of their background or where they live.
Entry on Friday is free for all. The following two days, tickets are $5 per day for adults and kids 13 and up and $4 for kids 6-12, seniors and military members. Kids 5 and under are free.
Hours are 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
