Senator Dominic F. Pileggi invites kids of all ages and their families to attend his 4th annual Kids' Fun Fair on Saturday, October 14, 2006.  The event is offered free of charge as a community service and will be held rain or shine at Sun Valley High School, 2881 Pancoast Avenue in Aston from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This year's event promises to be an enjoyable family experience. The Philadelphia Zoo will present its Zoo on Wheels "Outrageous Reptiles" program and the Franklin Institute will offer its Traveling Science Show. "Both programs are interactive and educational experiences and a huge success with the children" said Pileggi. There will also be face-painting, a "moon bounce" and refreshments.

The Kids' Fun Fair will also feature representatives from state and local agencies who will provide valuable information on programs and benefits available to families and children.  Representatives from the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA), the Tuition Account Program (TAP), the Bureau of Unclaimed Property, the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) Bomb Squad, the Delaware County Sheriff's Office, and local fire and police departments are some of the scheduled exhibitors.

The Pennsylvania Freemasons Foundation for Children will be on hand to promote their Child Identification Program. (CHIP)  This program addresses the growing concern that over the course of a year more then one million children are reported missing in the United States. Parents will receive computer scanned fingerprints of their children along with a DNA kit.
