The Henry County Fair provides one special day filled with all kinds of activities specifically for the youngest fairgoers: Kids Day.

Kids with brightly decorated faces climbed through the bounce house, rode ponies, and enjoyed a day out last year’s Kids Day at Henry County Fair. Many of these same fun activities will return this year with some exciting additions. (AnnaMarie Ward/The Union)

Thanks to sponsorships from Two Rivers Bank & Trust, HJ Nugen Public Library, and the Mt. Pleasant Public Library Kids Day from noon-4 p.m. Saturday, June 20 will offer new and returning activities for free.

Popular activities like Windy Acres pony rides, Face Paint by Brandi, Cookie Decorating by Nana Pam’s, and splash ball by HJ Nugen Public Library will return this year.

Additionally, many organizations will provide educational and interactive stations for kids to visit. Healthy Henry County will once again bring healthy snacks to Kids Day. Great River Health and Fitness will offer an obstacle course for kids to learn about staying active, and Henry County Conservation and The Domestic Violence Intervention Program also will set up stations.

Great River Health Fitness Specialist Dane Danforth showed Alexis Volner, from Mt. Pleasant, how to weave through the obstacle course. With the return of the course this year, kids can try to beat their time or learn how to do it for the time. (AnnaMarie Ward/The Union)

HJ Nugen and Mt. Pleasant public libraries sponsored a new exciting activity this year: a foam cannon by Absolute Science. This will provide plenty of laughs and help cool kids down during the warm summer afternoon.

Other additions this year include Balloontastic Tracy making balloon animals and Anderson Ranch Minis bringing mini cows and donkeys to Kids Day.
