Fairfax Xi Lambda Beta Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi is asking all Fairfax youth between the ages of birth through high school to be a part of their portion of the Fairfax Fair this year. They want as many children as possible to help let people realize there are a lot of “super heroes” in the youth this year at the Fairfax Fair!
Opening ceremonies will begin at 6:20 p.m. Friday, August 10, with participants from grades one through high school meeting at the northeast end of the park, close to the shelter house, to line up and proceed to the stage. This includes Boy and Girl Scouts, God Squad participants and all others along with the American Legion members. This processional allows the youth of that age group to be a special part of the Fairfax Fair and is a great kick-off for the weekend’s activities. For more information concerning the opening ceremonies, call Marilyn Alldredge, 660-686-2495 or 660-744-3146.
Little Mr. & Miss Fairfax candidates will take the stage at 6:30 p.m. to be judged. The Little Mr. & Miss Fairfax contest is for children 4, 5 and 6 years old who are in the Fairfax School District.
The actual baby/youth show will follow with any and all youths welcome. This is a great time to show off the youngsters and allow parents, grandparents and the community the opportunity to be proud of our future leaders. All participants must be pre-registered. Registration sheets will be available at the Dairy Diner before the fair begins. Last-minute registration can also be done that evening (by 6:10 p.m.) at the north side of the stage in the park. Categories will include: birth to 6 months, 7 to 11 months, 1 year to 23 months, 2 years to 35 months, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years, and 6 years. Following introductions of all the categories, the Little Mr. & Miss Fairfax candidates will be brought back on the stage for the announcement of the winners and coronation of the 2018 Little Mr. & Miss Fairfax. The new royalty will ride in the parade Saturday morning.
The 2017 Little Mr. & Miss Fairfax, along with last year’s Miss Fairfax and Jr. Miss Fairfax, will assist on the stage.
Questions concerning the Baby Show or Little Mr. & Miss Fairfax contest may be directed to Marilyn Alldredge, 660-744-3146, or Susan Slaughter, 660-686-2509.
