Kids’ Start Fair - an annual LGAA tradition

Sponsored by your Leadership Gainesville Alumni Association (LGAA) in cooperation with the School Board of Alachua County, the annual Kids’ Start Fair (KSF) takes place each August.

Started in 1995 as a class project of LG22, the KSF has helped 1000’s of kinder-garten-aged Alachua County Head Start graduates and at risk children get their school careers off on the right foot. Free backpacks, clothing, school supplies, health screenings, entertainment, GPD K-9 demonstrations, music, food and drinks are all part of the Kids’ Start Fair, which has evolved into a regional event honored by the Florida Head Start Association with a Florida District Merit Award.

If you’d like more information on the Kids’ Start Fair or would like to volunteer, contact LGAA Kids’ Start co-chair Bill Evans at (352) 665-3897.
