THE YEARS JUST KEEP ROLLIN' ON BY!

The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary's Coastal Discovery Center held it's fourth annual Fair last week. Diana and I volunteered to help at the event again this year, something we've had the pleasure of doing since the Grand Opening of the MBNMS/CSP Coastal Discovery Center in 2007. That ceremony/event was the precursor for THE FAIR.

This year's fair was the best yet (of course) with a bright, sunny, and cool day. The exhibitors went above and beyond, having developed more interactive and interesting educational activities for our guests. Practically all the organizations that participated in The Fair were non-profit or governmental (state and Federal) agencies involved in natural history, environmental advocacy, or regulatory arenas. Of course there was a bunch of fun stuff to do for the kids to do, besides hands-on exhibits.

It was very satisfying to participate in an event that was both educational for the public AND fun at the same time! I thought I'd share some photographs I took at The Fair, enjoy!
