• Your child must arrive by 6:45 p.m., with the competition beginning at 7:00 p.m..
• Each child will be asked to state their name, age, name of school, grade, favourite activity, and favourite colour. This information can be written on a piece of paper to help them present this information
• The contestants will also each answer a short impromptu question about an object picked from a bag. They will be asked to describe the item or discuss why they like it.
• Children will make one craft to enter in the fair with our group on the information night. Each child will also earn points for each exhibit item entered in this year’s fair.
