The guide contains detailed lists of materials and "how-to"
information for games and displays and over 20 information
sheets you can use at your resource table.
The Guide is based on the experience of Food Fest '06, held
at Pierce Downer Elementary School in Downers Grove in April
2006. The food fair was created by small group of parents
to help educate other parents, students and teachers about
healthy eating. The event was held in the school's gym on
the night of the annual Open House, with 250 families in attendance.
The gym was a buzz of activity, with nutrition-themed games
and displays, staffed by both parents and health professionals.
Healthy food samples were available to eat and drink! While
some had been skeptical about "other people telling them what
to feed their children," the response was overwhelmingly positive.
Parents, who thought their children would not eat healthier
foods, were surprised when their children asked them to buy
the healthier food choices they sampled!
