People gathered at Jordan Valley Park for a Community Awareness Fair hosted by the Greene County Juvenile Office.
The Fair was designed as a fun event connecting parents and kids with community resources like after school activities, mentoring programs and drug prevention programs.
It also gives service agencies a chance to network.
Perry Elkins of the American Red Cross says, "we serve 23 counties and we couldn't accomplish our mission if we weren't out there working with everyone else. We get great support from other agencies. This is a great opportunity to have young people come out and see what they can do to get involved with their community."
In addition to those community programs -- people who attended the fair also enjoyed live music, stand-up comedy, and other fun activities.
