This is a fun family festival. In past years the Water Replenishment team asked every visitor to take a stamp card and visit every booth. Most booth are education oriented and include mini-science experiments, live animals, Q & A trivia, and demonstrations. Once the card was filled visitors received a chance to open a treasure chest filled with great prizes including large appliances! Every visitor received a free lunch and lots of educational freebies. Free parking is available in the adjacent shopping centers.
