Lynn is from the International Office and was helping with a truckers survey.

3The Children’s Activity area was busy from the time it opened at 11:30 until it closed at 3:30.

3B (1)When I entered, I met these three and their grandma who were going for free ice cream cones – because they had finished the scavenger hunt.

3B (2)

3ATo complete the scavenger hunt, the children have to get signatures of specific truckers (by the truck they drive – Peterbilt, Kenworth, etc.), count vendors, and find stamps in specific area.

We gave away sixty cones this year. 🙂

3B (3)This young fellow is trying to get a lollipop.

3B (4)The corn bin was popular with the young ones.

3B (6)The electronic bull ~ by The Bull Guys ~ was a fun challenge.

3B (8)Auntie Anne’s and the ice cream truck are popular places.

There is also food in the fairgrounds kitchen.

38-DSC_3245I was delighted when Martin Reiff came to me and said that his son-in-law would take me up on the man-lift.

Martin knows I love to have that opportunity.

50-DSC_3269Hey, Sam Rittenhouse! I caught you getting ice cream. 🙂

41-DSC_3248That was fun!

57-DSC_3278Our grandson Jared must have visited Clair and Millie Stauffer’s stand in West Hall.

59-DSC_3283The 4:00 PM Children’s Program was by Kingdom Kidz Puppet Ministry.

They did a great job of sharing the gospel on the kids level.

69-DSC_3298Their finale was a real hit ~ when the children got to hold the puppets and help with the last song.

They must have 30 or 40 puppets.

66-DSC_3293Our grandson Jesse loved his debut as a puppeteer.
