Hi Dee, we have a 'show day' here in Australia, it is much like your fair though we have a lot of farm animals involved for judging. We have been running our own show day here at the home apposed to the actual show as the grounds get too uneven for our residents. This year we had a petting zoo and the local school children (grade 1) come in the morning, the children were able to help take the animals around to our residents and all involved loved it. In the afternoon we had light entertainment, sideshow ally games like, duck pond, laughing clown game, knock-em-down, and more. as well as a sitting area so the residents could sit and eat there show foods such as, fairy floss (cotton candy), hot donuts and cream, and Strawberry Sundaes. as the day grew to an end and residents started to go back to there rooms each was given a show bag that included, small stuffed toy, balloons, lolly bags, and chocolate.
Like yourself I would love to hear about what others do too. Thank you for your post.
