Fun Fair 2008

Saturday was Fun Fair for Kids at Century II in Wichita KS. This is the event that I took over 500 pictures at that I mentioned in my last post. Since I have taken so many pictures at this event I think I will do at least two posts, the second post will feature pictures from the stage shows. That would be singers, dancers, Benjamin Franklin, the Hannah Montana look alike competition and the Super Heroes.
T&S Mobile Projectors has been setting up with Entercom at Fun Fair for the last 4 or 5 years.

Using the camera crane we project the stage shows on the big screen live. Between events we have fun with the kids and zoom in on them. They love seeing their faces on the big screen.
Below is a balcony shot looking out over the event. Can you see the main stage in the upper left, with our booth to the right? Click on the picture for a better view.
Here's another shot looking across the center, there were lots of inflatables for the children to play in and the lines got quite long at all of them.
There were lots of mascots there, the children (most of them) love these and run up and hug them.

I'm not sure who all they represent, I just took pictures of them as I found them.
The giraffe did a little dance for me, but I'm only putting up one shot.
Strawberry Shortcake was cute. The person constantly had their hands on her cheeks, making her look like she was being sweet and innocent, but they were actually having to hold the head up.
The mascot below is the Wichita Thunderdog, mascot of the Wichita Thunder Hockey team.
There were lots of things for the kids to do, some free and some you had to pay for. There were lots of balloon...

...and opportunities to color and be creative.
Sports stuff and inflatables...
...Princess crowns and gowns...
...make up and nail polish...
...and paint to get on your fingers.

Did I mention that there was a Hannah Montana look alike contest?
And face paint and giant teddy bears.
...Rubber duckies in a wading pool...
...and paints.
There's always lots of things to occupy children and information for adults for education and other means and interests having to do with raising children.

I'm going to attempt to use the new posting feature to choose the date and time of posting so the post(s) about the shows will follow this post.
