Bellefonte Childrens Fair Saturday, June 01, 2013 @ 10:00 AM: Bellefonte  The 2013 Bellefonte Children’s Fair will be held Saturday June 1 from 10am until 2pm at the intersection of Curtin and Armor Streets. The Fair is a 64 year old tradition in Bellefonte which attracts hundreds of children for a day of inexpensive enjoyment while raising funds to provide playground equipment for the Borough’s parks. The Fair features games, with face painting, food, entertainment, community service groups – and even a great raffle. Senator Jake Corman provides a “Moon Bounce” that is one of the Fair’s most popular activities. The games target pre-school and elementary aged children, but the Fair offers plenty of activities to keep the whole family entertained.
The food booths are a hit with kids and parents alike. The Kiwanis Club’s ice cream draws big crowds on the hot June days. One local church has taken charge of the pizza sales and another has a cookie decorating booth for kids to show off their artistic and culinary talents. There is entertainment throughout the day. Hundreds of volunteers from the community participate in the Fair. In addition to the dozens of community and civic groups that participate, 50-75 Bellefonte Area High School students volunteer their time to pick up furniture, set up the booths, and even staff some of the activities. This year the high school swim team will operate many of the games. This popular community event was started in 1958 as a fund-raiser to buy toys for children in the hospital. When the hospital moved to a new location, the Fair shifted its focus to support for the playgrounds in the Borough. All of the profits from the Fair are given to the Borough specifically for playground equipment for the parks.
Organizations serving youth in the Bellefonte community are eligible to participate in the Fair. For more information about participating, contact a member of the Bellefonte Sunrise Rotary Club or send an email to belpa383@msn.com. Benefits Bellefonte Playground improvements.
