Senator Pileggi Hosting Kids' Fun Fair on June 5 

Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi (R-9) is hosting his fourth annual Chester County Kids' Fun Fair on Saturday, June 5, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.  

This event is offered free of charge and will be held rain or shine at Lincoln University's Living Learning Center, 1570 Baltimore Pike, just east of Oxford. Parents and grandparents are encouraged to attend with their children and grandchildren. 

"The goal of the Kids' Fun Fair is to be both educational and entertaining," said Senator Pileggi. "Representatives from various organizations and government agencies will also be on hand to provide information about the services they provide for area families and children." 

The programs at the Kids' Fun Fair will feature exhibits from the Philadelphia Zoo and the Franklin Institute, along with an appearance by Smokey Bear. The Philadelphia Zoo will present its Zoo on Wheels "Who's Who at the Zoo" program, and the Franklin Institute will offer its Traveling Science Show. Other activities include music, face-painting, a "moon bounce," and refreshments. 

Representatives from the Pennsylvania Treasury 529 College Saving Program, the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA), the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office, the Chester County Sheriff's office, and local fire and police departments are among the scheduled exhibitors. 

The Pennsylvania Masonic Youth Foundation's Children Identification Program (CHIP) will also be represented. CHIP is a free public safety measure which provides parents with such things as a digital video and a photograph of their child on a CD, along with a copy of their children's fingerprints – all designed to help authorities in the event a child is missing.
