For nearly forty years now the Lassen County Office of Education has presented children of Lassen County with a special day all their own, a low-cost and family-friendly event held each May at the fairgrounds. It’s a favorite event among local families, a true sign of Susanville spring and every year it seems as if more children visit the fair, more groups and organizations participate and parents who visited the fair as children return to treat their own children to the experience.
In 2019, according to Children’s Fair Coordinator James Hall, the fair attracted more than 10,000 people of all ages who enjoyed nifty games, live entertainment, youth activities and low-cost food.
Hall explains that the purpose of the fair is, “to provide an opportunity for families to spend a pleasant day together that will hopefully reduce tobacco, substance, and child abuse within Lassen County.”
Returning attractions include emergency vehicle displays, educational booths, magic shows and inflatable playgrounds.
“The Children’s Fair is intended to be a benefit to the community and not a profit-making opportunity,” explains Hall.
Admission is free and the Children’s Fair is open on Saturday, May 7th, from 10:00a.m. until 4:00p.m. at the Lassen County Fairgrounds.
