It was an afternoon of fun, games and entertainment as Chadds Ford Elementary School held its 63rd annual May Fair on May 18. Each class, K-5, performed its own musical number based on this year’s theme, A Healthy Body. There was also the traditional Maypole Dance and Parachute Party.
During the entertainment portion, school nurse Julie Krause was named Fair Queen. She’s leaving the school at the end of this academic year.
After the official end of the school day, there were carnival games and a dunk tank where school Principal Mark Ransford got dunked.
Ransford also passed on some historical information regarding May Fair that, when it was first held in 1949, it was a rodeo with horses, riders and cattle coming up from Texas.
