Nutrition Fair: The Experience
  • Greeted by a Curator/Carnie?. “Step right up”. Busy atmosphere. High energy. The guests are given a pamphlet/map that shows the layout of the exhibition and tells about the exhibition. Think Disneyland.
  • Enter carnival. Games/booths set up. Guests can meander through. They play games, buy food… ATTEND the fair…
  • After the fair, guests are interviewed about the experience. How has the fair impacted their impression about being healthy? On a post card, write one change you want to make. After christmas, the postcards will be mailed out.
