At the Fair: Pick up child ID tags at information booths

You can pick up identification stickers at the fair's information booths for your kids. The stickers include spaces to list a child's name, age, emergency contact name and phone number. Information booths are scattered around the fairgrounds. I picked up a sticker at the booth near the Village of Yesteryear.

This could certainly come in handy if you get separated from your child at the fair.

In an earlier post, a couple of Go Ask Mom readers also shared what they do in case their kids get lost at the fair: 

"... We always made a small card and laminated it which had our names and cell [numbers] on them. We put the card either in their pocket or shoe and told them if they got lost to talk to a police officer or a mom/grandma and show them their card. They never had to use it, but they felt better having it and so did we."

And another ... 

"I also take a picture of my kids after we get out of the car. If we get separated, I have a photo and know exactly what they are wearing. I have done this every year, and still do it even though my boys are 10 and 12. (Too many wierdos out there!)"
