Hey LPEA members! It's that time of year again – the La Plata County Fair is just around the corner, and we're thrilled to announce our continued partnership with the CSU Extension Office's 4-H Youth Development program. This year, we're taking our STEM activities to a whole new level!
Why are we so excited? Because this event perfectly embodies our cooperative principle of concern for the community. By sponsoring and participating in the fair, we're not just having fun – we're investing in the bright minds that will shape our future.
Here's what you can look forward to:
- Hands-on STEM Activities: From building electric robots to creating circuits with playdough, we're bringing electricity to life in the most entertaining ways possible.
- All Ages Welcome: Whether you're 2 or 92, there's something for everyone. Last year, we saw toddlers light up (figuratively!) when they completed their first circuit, and teenagers proudly showcasing their robotic creations.
- Community Bonding: Witness the magic of generations coming together. Parents and grandparents, prepare to be swept up in the excitement – you might just find yourself learning alongside the kids!
- Free Access to Learning: In line with our commitment to the community, all STEM activities are offered at no cost. We believe in creating equal opportunities for all young minds to explore and grow.
- Spark Moments Galore: There's nothing quite like seeing a child's eyes light up when they grasp a new concept. These are the moments that fuel our passion for community development.
By participating in this event, you're not just attending a fair – you're supporting LPEA's mission to be a trusted community partner and to prepare for our future by investing in the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers.
So, gather your family, and join us for an unforgettable day of learning, laughter, and community spirit on August 8-9 from 10 am. to 4 p.m. Let's make this year's La Plata County Fair the best one yet!
Remember, today's circuit-building kid could be tomorrow's electrical engineer. Who knows? They might even end up working with us at LPEA someday!
See you at the fair!
