The Only People Who Finish the Race are Those Who are Given a Start!
This past Friday and Saturday, FSA was proudly represented at the San Diego County Fair at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The theme for this year's fair was "Race to the Fair." Prize money is awarded to the booths that best incorporate this theme with their booths. We pulled out all the stops and did our very best to find a correlation between "cars" and "adoption." We think we did a pretty good job.
Congratulations and a big THANK YOU to Emily B. of Kansas City, MO for making such a great banner. And thank you to Ben P. of Carlsbad, CA for printing the banner for us. 
Thanks to Emily S. of San Marcos, CA for painting this license plate for our booth decor.
Thank you to Peggy Shepherd of the National FSA board for helping to create key chains for our event to distribute to all the fair goers. 
Thanks most of all to Amanda, Nicole, Alexx (and daughter,) Becca, Christine (and hubby,) and Erin for serving at the booth. Even if we do not win a prize in the end, it was worth the effort. Saturday traffic near our booth was pretty slow, but Friday was fairly steady. Both days we had opportunities to have positive conversations about adoption, discuss the services we provide, interact with many great members of our community, and witness individuals indulge in such delicacies as deep fried kool-aid and chocolate covered bacon. All in all, the weekend was a success.
Here is our booth, adorned with racing flags.
