We’re not sure who had more fun at the fair—the kids or our staff! From carnival rides and games to plenty of laughs along the way, everyone had a blast soaking up all the excitement of the Central States Fair. A huge thank you to the Central States Fairgrounds for opening their gates early and giving our kids the chance to experience all the joy that the fair brings. We’re grateful for your generosity and for helping make this special day possible! #FairFunforGood #CarnivalRidesforGood #CentralStatesFair #CHSSD
