Hundreds of parents and children streamed into the Commons area of Flagstaff High School for the 8th Flagstaff Early Childhood Fair held on June 29.
The fair, which was traditionally held during the Spring, was moved to the Fall to coincide with the annual Flagstaff Festival of Science (Sept. 21 through 30).
Hundreds of children gathered around the four baseball fields at the Page Sports Complex to await the sounding of the horn signaling the annual Community Easter Egg Hunt held Saturday, March 24 in Page.
The event, held in conjunction with the annual “Early Learning Everyday Early Childhood Fair, was presented by the Page Public Library and the Page Recreation Department, with the support of First Things First and the Coconino Coalition for Children & Youth.

All proceeds will be used in Coconino County to obtain gift cards that will benefit the local youth shelter/outreach program at Northland Family Help Center and various school districts’ McKinney–Vento homeless youth programs where cards will be used for homeless and runaway youth facing tremendous challenges.
Hundreds of parents and children attended the 2017 Flagstaff Early Childhood Fair held on May 6 at Flagstaff High School.
More than three-dozen educational booths, musical entertainment and other information greeted parents in the Commons area at the high school.
With the theme “Full STEAM Ahead,” the annual fair provided parents with information on a variety of early childhood programs available in the region.
The children were lined up at the edge of the in-fields of the four baseball diamonds anxiously awaiting the word to go. When it came, dozens of youth, from toddlers though elementary school, darted toward the grass outfield to pick up as many Easter Eggs as they could find and carry at the “Full Steam Ahead Early Childhood Fair,” held Saturday, March 26 at the Page Sports Complex.
Held in conjunction with the annual “Community Easter Egg Hunt,” the event also drew dozens of parents who received information on child care, family resources, training opportunities from the dozen or so information tables set up at the sports facility.
Students received backpacks and school supplies, while their parents received information on after school and other upcoming educational programs at the annual Fredonia Back to School Fair held on Aug. 18 at Fredonia Elementary and Fredonia Middle/High School.
