Spring is in the air, and a fair is being organized by a local church to celebrate. First United Methodist Church Nursery School Spring Fair, now in its ninth year, is a family event which offers activities to tots, their grandparents and ages in between.
This year’s fair is themed “fiesta,” as it will takes place during the weekend of Cinco de Mayo. It will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. today, Saturday, May 6 at 1008 11th St. in Santa Monica. Attendees will enjoy the music of Mariachis as they take part in activities that range from pony rides, petting zoos to face painting and a dunking booth.
Those in a shopping mood can browse through the “Book Nook” for deals on used books, videos and DVDs, or pursue a selection of colorful merchandise from Mexico, available for purchase.
Admission is free. Most activities require one to three tickets, and tickets may be purchased for $1.
Proceeds from the fair benefit the pre-school, which has been serving families in the Santa Monica area since 1948. Compost happens
