Marion County Fair – Salem, Oregon
McNary High School Student Volunteers host the Hands & Words Are Not For Hurting® booth teaching the
Purple Hands Pledge® to fairgoers of all ages!
♥ McNary High School students staffed the Hands & Words Are Not For Hurting Project® Marion County Fair booth for four days!
♥ We estimate about 300 people stopped at the booth and received an official magnet!
♥ Lots of kids and adults were already familiar with the Purple Hands Pledge® and were using the Pledge in their workplaces and schools!
♥ McNary students were enthusiastic about interacting with their community and we’re proud to teach the Purple Hands Pledge®!
Comments from Fairgoers:
♥ “I am encouraged to see some of our youth doing positive things for their community instead of all the negative things we hear so much about.”
♥ “The kids were all very professional and interactive with adults and kids who stopped by.”
