Kids Workshop
Here’s a great activity you can share with your kids… and it’s free! Quality Home Services FREE Kids Workshops offer fun and useful number of cool projects for your little project helper to enjoy. The workshops are great for 5- to 12-year-olds, and they teach children do-it-yourself skills and tool safety and at the same time they help to instill a sense of accomplishment. If your little builder is under 5, that’s fine, too, but you’ll need to provide a little more supervision. We see parents getting into the fun, too, no matter the age of the participants. The workshops create quality, one-on-one fun time between you and your children or nieces, nephews. The Kids Workshop will be located in the Kids Korner area between buildings 3 & 4.
Child ID Program
The Kern County Sheriffs Department Child Identification Program is a community service initiative dedicated to providing parents and guardians with critical information in the event that a child goes missing. It’s also fun and fee. The Child ID table will be located in building 1.
Tips to Enjoy the Show

- At Each Entrance… be sure to pick up a home show program to direct you around the showgrounds.
- Check out the map for the location of your favorite exhibitor, feature or where to win a prize.
