A Sensory-Friendly Sanctuary: Kiwanis Fair's New 'Kids' Korner'
The Kiwanis Kids' Korner debuted at this year's Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair, offering a quiet, sensory-friendly space for children who become overstimulated by the midway's excitement.
Spearheaded by Andrea May, Lisa Turner, and Leslie Pease, the initiative earned praise from families and is expected to become a lasting part of the fair experience.
The idea began taking shape after Lisa Turner attended the annual Georgia/South Carolina State Fair Convention, where organizers discussed challenges faced by children who become overstimulated at large public events.
The new Kiwanis Kids' Korner quickly became one of the fair’s most appreciated additions, offering families a welcoming place to regroup and recharge.
