Families from across the community turned out in full force this past weekend for Senator Darby Hills’ (R-Barrington Hills) annual Kids Fair at the Foglia YMCA, making it one of the most exciting events of the summer.
“Thank you to everyone who came out to my Kids Fair in Lake Zurich,” said Senator Hills (R-Barrington Hills). “It was a fantastic turnout, and I loved connecting with families over face painting, trucks, the K-9 unit, and more. Seeing so many kids smiling and engaged makes hosting this event such a joy.”
The fair was packed with crowd favorites, from colorful face painting and a fascinating reptile show to the always-popular Touch-a-Truck experience, where children got an up-close look at fire trucks, police cars, and even a working K-9 unit. Parents and kids alike also had the chance to explore helpful local and state resources, adding a meaningful layer of community support to the fun.
The energy and excitement from this year’s Kids Fair has already sparked anticipation for next year. Senator Hills encourages families to keep an eye out for details on the 2026 Kids Fair, promising even more opportunities to learn, explore, and enjoy an unforgettable day together.
