The Exchange Club of Springfield, Ohio held its 77th Kid’s Games on Youth Day at the Clark County Fair, Wednesday, July 29, 2026. It was a perfect summer day with blue skies, moderate humidity and temperatures, and a slight breeze. Approximately 150 kids from 5 – 16 participated in the 25-, 50-, and 75-yard dashes, sack races, egg-on-the-spoon races, (no thumb on the egg, please!), and the venerable distance egg-toss. Cash prizes were awarded to first, second, and third place, as well as a number of cash raffles were held during the event. We even had a visit from the 2026 Fair Queen, Kaylee Smith! Thank you, your Majesty!
A great day indeed! Many thanks to Chair Mark Sullivan, and members, Jill, Skip, Dave, Janet, Jackie, Annisa, Bonnie, Peg, Stan, Karen H, Larry, Don, Alan, Karen and Mark L., Leah, and Melissa. Also, thanks to Tigers Exchange Club members Karen, Jason, Erin, Kerry, Clarence, Matt, Jeff, Paris, and Michael. Thanks as well to the Fair Board and to Ameriprise for sponsoring Youth Day! Can’t wait ’til next year! Unity for Service!
