Fair rides, baked goods and carnival food are all part of the Hindley Happening, Hindley School’s annual fair, running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., this Saturday, May 7, at the school.
A silent auction will be held in the school gymnasium, with items donated by local merchants, including dinners at local restaurants, jewelry, sports tickets, jewelry and personal training sessions. A plant sale is also part of the event.
Here’s what the fair grounds and school looked like before the event:
