Why should I get involved?
You and your business can be part of ensuring YFS continues to meet the needs of children and their families in western South Dakota. Consider sponsoring a booth. The return is priceless. All funds raised by Kids Fair benefit YFS programs, and you get three days to showcase your business product or service to a vast audience of parents, grandparents and children. Individuals or businesses might also consider sponsoring a booth for a nonprofit exhibitor.
Contact Connie Olson at (605) 342-4195 for more information. For details on sponsoring a booth, click here.
What if I can't sponsor a booth? How else can I help?
Volunteer at Kids Fair! The success of Kids Fair depends not only on the financial generosity of our sponsors, but also on the willingness of community members to give of their time. Our volunteers collectively gave 2,000 hours of their time last year. We need them and you again this year. Volunteers assist with attractions, activities and booths and ensure a warm and inviting experience for every visitor.
