(Atlantic, Iowa) – Cass County Wellness Coordinator Grace McAfee says the Cass County Child Abuse Prevention Council is partnering with the Healthy Cass County Coalition and other community organizations, to host a Family Fun Day at the Cass County Fair.  The event takes place July 26th, 2025, from 12- until 3 p.m.. Activities will be set-up around the fairgrounds for families to find and participate in, including water fights, a dunk tank, a duck pond, a teddy bear hospital, hands-on S.T.E.M. activities, a seed planting activity, and more! Depending on the activity, some may have a different starting or ending time.

Participants can pick up a map at any of the stations. The map will list the activities that will be going on all over the fairgrounds. Once a location is visited, participants will receive a stamp to indicate their participation at that location. When the map is returned to the Healthy Cass booth in the commercial building, with at least 6 stamps, a voucher will be given to the participant to redeem for food at the Chuckwagon food stand. Some stations may stay open past 3pm, but vouchers must be redeemed by 3:15-p.m.

Organizations participating in the Family Fun Day at the Fair include: Atlantic Fire Department, Cass County Child Abuse Prevention Council, Cass County 4-H, Cass County Fair, Cass County Master Gardeners, Healthy Cass County, ISU Extension, Cass County Public Health, Zion Integrated Behavioral Health, and more! There will also be a variety of other family-friendly entertainment and activities going on at the fair throughout the afternoon on Saturday for youth and families to enjoy at no cost. There is no charge for entry to attend the fair or park for the day.

The Cass County Child Abuse Prevention Council and Healthy Cass County encourage families to enjoy some time together at the Cass County Fair while gathering ideas for activities that can be done at home, at school and out in the community as a family. The council also reminds people that child abuse is preventable, and everyone can play a part in creating safe, healthy and nurturing environments for kids in our local communities.
