This year’s theme is Bee Above the Influence—Stay Alcohol and Drug Free. The booths are set up by a variety of CSU, Chico organizations and businesses. Many booths will have a bee or stinger theme along with an interactive, educational activity. There will be pumpkin bowling, an obstacle course set up by the University Police Department and the Chico Police Department, a petting zoo and a bounce house.
Now in its 19th year, the fair is designed to promote healthy alternatives to alcohol, drug and tobacco for school-age children. The fair is free to all youth attending with their class or with a parent or guardian.
The fair is organized by CSU, Chico’s Campus Alcohol and Drug Education Center (CADEC). Interactive booths staffed by campus and community groups promote tobacco, alcohol or drug-free messages and teach children a healthy lifestyle fact to encourage kids to recognize healthier choices for their future.
Additional information about the fair is available by contacting CADEC at 530-898-6450.
