Maui Fair Fun & Prizes
Posted October 01, 2015
The 93rd annual Maui Fair came to town and twenty-five of our residents from Wailuku and Kahului got to join in on the fun during the Special Fair Day on Friday, September 25th. Resident Bill Wimberly, pictured above with Activities staff member Youpha Giovannoni, satisfied his sweet tooth with a cotton candy. All of our residents and volunteers had a lot of fun reliving their childhood on the rides and playing games.
The Special Fair Day gives individuals with disabilities the opportunity to enjoy the Maui Fair and all that it has to offer. During the Special Fair time selected rides and games, entertainment, and a picnic lunch are available to the Special Guests free of charge. The Maui Fair, Hale Mahaolu, and donations from businesses and community organizations make this event possible.
Going to the Maui Fair is a special event our residents look forward to every year!
