More than 20 fun, educational, safe family activities will be offered online as part of Leeward Community College’s 31st Discovery Fair, November 6–13. This is the second year the popular community event, which normally welcomed 5,000 attendees to the campus, is being held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Families with children of all ages are encouraged to participate together for a unique and engaging experience at www.leeward.hawaii.edu/fair. The fair is full of fun, educational activities families can do at home together.
All videos will be available online from November 6 at 8 a.m. to November 13 at 8 p.m. Checking the website prior to the event is encouraged for more information and a list of supplies for each activity, and to find out how you can win great prizes! Ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro will introduce each of the activities online.
