Will County Families Invited to Kids’ Fair on Presidents’ Day

Spread the love

Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant invites families to attend a fun-filled Kids’ Fair on Monday, February 19, from 9 a.m. to noon, at Troy Middle School, 5800 W. Theodore Street, Plainfield. The free event features interactive and educational activities from local organizations, businesses, and government agencies.

“This event is a great event for mom, dad, grandparents, and caretakers who are looking for a family-friendly activity on Presidents’ Day,” said County Executive Bertino-Tarrant. “Last year’s fair attracted more than 800 attendees, and I’m hoping more families take advantage of this fun, community-centered event.”

Over 50 vendors will be in attendance with interactive, family-fun activities, along with educational information about local public services from community organizations and public agencies. Games, crafts, educational activities, performances, and live animals also will be featured at the event.

For more information, contact the Office of the Will County Executive at countyexec@willcounty.gov or call 815-740-4601.
