Outside, children enjoyed a dedicated “Kid’s Corner” filled with games, face painting, and a scavenger hunt, all topped off with fluffy cotton candy. Vendor booths and food trucks offered everything from refreshing lemonade to unique crafts and even kittens seeking new homes, courtesy of Emery Cat Rescue.
The indoor arena transformed into a lively farmyard, complete with mooing cows, bleating goats, and crowing roosters. Children delighted in feeding the animals and even had the chance to win free chicks in a raffle.
Meanwhile, at the remote-control airport runway, the Desert Wings RC club put on a spectacular aerial show. Kris Verron, Safety Officer for the club, and fellow enthusiasts demonstrated impressive flips, tricks, and maneuvers, welcoming newcomers to learn about their hobby.
