KEYSER — A wide variety of organizations and agencies set up exhibits Wednesday at the Mineral County Resource Network's annual Parenting Fair, held in conjunction with the Energy Express Open House.
Thirty-eight vendors filled the KPMS commons area with displays and various interactive exhibits, while visitors were entertained by a wandering clown and given the opportunity to get their children fingerprinted or get their faces painted.
The Parenting Fair is geared toward offering information about the various resources available in the area to parents and guardians, and was very well attended, according to FRN Executive Director Gerri Mason.
