Going to the Show, Fair or a Big Event

ellamia by ellamia Talking Back(October 2007) (rank 51st)
Going to a Show, Fair or any Big Event is great fun and the kids enjoy it. Here are just some helpful hints to save you some money and still have a good time.

  • Make sure you have water and lots of it
  • Take healthy
    snacks
  • Pram or stroller
  • Take a packed healthy lunch for everyone
  • If there are vouchers on the internet or in a newspaper use these discounts
  • Make sure you have nappies, wipes, bibs, dummies, blankets, bottle and all the baby essentials when you are taking a baby
  • Make sure they have had a good rest before going
  • When they are tired its best to leave and the kids will just get grumpy and adgitated.
  • Make a wrist band for the child with your mobile number on it or write it down their arm incase child gets lost (wrist band wouldnt be as toxic)
  • Appropriate footware is suitable and a hat for their head incase it is hot
  • Suncream
  • Appropriate clothing depending on weather and a change of clothes incase of messy accidents
  • Have rest intervals to rest their legs

Enjoy your outing with your kids is most important. If i have missed anything that is important let me know. This is just a general guide.

I hope this helps.

GREAT TIPS!  I certainly couldn't agree more, and the wrist bands are a fantastic idea... So many of these outings can turn sour very quickly if you are ill prepared.  The food advice is really important too - it is rare to find anything reasonably priced - let alone remotely healthy at big events.

Cheers - Lui
