SEES COUNTRY FAIR LOGO GENERIC_2013_3x4

Join us Saturday, April 13th from 10-4 and “SEES the World!” at our annual Country Fair. We have many new, exciting attractions this year including a petting zoo, rides, and giant inflatables, to go along with all of the fun activities, games, and arts & crafts you’ve come to love over the years. Take a walk through our Silent Auction room. It will be bursting with beautiful baskets, and other fun and exciting items, for your bidding pleasure. There will be international food booths representing some of the finest restaurants in the area, along with a Snack Shack and three fully stocked Watering Holes for when you need to quench your thirst. Our Bake Sale and Blue Ribbon Tents will transport you back in time, and give you the opportunity to take home a piece of homemade goodness just like grandma used to make! You can also come try your luck at the Prize Walk where you might dance away with a cuddly, Giant Pillow Chum friend. Be sure to stop by the Stage, and catch the entertainment from some of the rising stars in the community before they head off to Hollywood! Also, be sure to stop by the Eagles’ Outlook to see, and hear, all of the fantastic wind chimes created by SEES (San Elijo Elementary School)families. Last, but not least, you definitely don’t want to miss the Eagle’s Pie Pitch! Come by, and test out your arm to see if you can hit one of SEES most wanted with a cream pie…we dare you!

Pre sales for Family Packs, food tickets, and fun cards will take place in front of SEES for the entire week leading up to the fair at the

following times OR you can also make your pre-sale purchase on PayPal via the school website.

Although we will be celebrating the richness in diversity and culture our world has to offer, we’d also like to remember those in our own community who may be in need of assistance. This year our Country Fair Service Project is a combined effort, with local Girl Scouts, SEES students, and our very own Country Fair Sheriffs to collect items for Interfaith Community Services as well as the Humane Society. From March 13th-April 13th we will be accepting donations for both organizations including, but not limited to the

following items:

Canned food items (beans, vegetables, fruit, tuna fish, soup, pasta meals etc.) Canned Pedigree dog food

New/unopened toiletries and personal grooming items Rawhide, bully sticks, dog and cat toys
