It was a fun day for children too as they enjoyed the bouncy house. This year a new fun program included face painting and a children's own Bench Fair which was put on by M-M-I FCSS staff and summer students. The new program called 'Red Wagon Parent Link' challenged the parents and children to "Play AG. Fair" with the toys provided.
A Beef Supper followed the day's events.
