Bring the little ones to build a “Kids Crew” hands-on building kit donated by The Home Depot, or let them get a little dirty in the giant mountain of sand donated by Construction Materials of Northwest Florida.

Each attendee will be given a ticket at the door for a free raffle with prizes from Wild Willy’s Adventure Zone, Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park, and The Track.

The Northwest Florida Fairgrounds is at 1954 Lewis Turner Blvd, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32547.
