'The most rewarding thing'
Special needs residents spend day at Kiwanis Ogeechee fair
102010 SPECIAL NEEDS DAY 01 web
Patrick Jackson, 25, hollers "Yee Haw" while enjoying a ride on the merry-go-round as area special needs adults and children enjoy some special time at the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair on Wednesday.
Going to the fair is special for most people, but to someone who rarely gets out of their home, is physically or mentally unable to handle large crowds, and doesn't have many social opportunities, going to the fair is an amazing experience. If not for the Statesboro Kiwanis Club and Amusements of America, hundreds for special needs residents in Bulloch and surrounding counties would not get to see the sights and sounds of the fair and enjoy the fair experience. For the past 18 years, Sylvia Brown has been heading up the "special needs" day on Wednesdays at the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair.
