On Saturday June 2, 2007, I
hosted my first annual Chester County Kids’ Fun Fair at Lincoln University.
The event was an enjoyable family experience with a variety of programs,
music, entertainment, and educational exhibits.
Representatives from state
and local agencies were on hand to provide valuable information on programs
and services available to families and children. The Philadelphia Zoo
presented its Zoo on Wheels "Outrageous Reptiles Program" and the Franklin
Institute offered its "Traveling Science Hot and Cold Show." Generous
sponsors made the event possible, including Acme Markets, Chester Water
Authority, Comcast, Exelon Genesis Health Care, Giant Foods, Herr Foods
Inc., Hershey Foods, J & L Entertainment, John C. Leo & Son, LLC, Krapf
Coaches, McDonald’s, PECO Energy, Penn Brew Station, Sher-Rockee Mushroom
Farms, TLC Refreshments, Tastykake, Tri-State Moving Inc., Verizon, and Wawa
Inc. Lincoln University deserves special thanks for hosting the event.
The Kids’ Fun Fair was well received by the
residents of southern Chester County, and I appreciate all of those who took
the time to come out for the fun and informational activities. I look
forward to bringing the event to the 9th District again next year.
