“Who knows what is happening on May 17th-20th?” asked Chairman of the Fillmore May Festival Shawn Diaz. “The fair!,” yelled the crowd of approximately 30 children, including the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley and neighborhood kids who gathered at the Fillmore Library to participate in the very popular Success through Reading program on Wednesday, May 9, 2012.

Shawn proceeded to read the book Night at the Fair by Donald Crews and also gave the children the latest and greatest about changes to the fair this year like more rides for the young people. Bracelets where made to remind them about the fair. Two books donated by the Fillmore Friends of the Library were given away as door prizes. Then Shawn surprised the children with a free entrance bracelet good for the first day of the fair!
