The most time-tested Awana church outreach, dating back to the very first Awana club in 1940s Chicago, is NOT AwanaGames™, Bible Quizzing or Grand Prix …

… but the AWANA FAIR!

Styled after the county fair, this fun-filled blend of booths, games, food, prizes, music, crafts and entertainment – all done with an evangelistic purpose – is a can’t-miss attraction for the kids in your community.

This one-day event is a proven way to:

• Draw unchurched children and parents through your church doors
• Enroll new clubbers in your Awana program
• Introduce unsaved youngsters and families to the gospel of Christ
• Provide an appealing incentive for clubbers to more actively participate in club.

With winter approaching, mid-year is the ideal time to use the Awana Fair to infuse excitement in your current clubbers – while reaching out to potential new clubbers!
