SENSORY-FRIENDLY MORNING AT MIGHTY MIDWAY & KIDWAY

I would personally like to thank whoever was in charge of bringing a sensory-friendly event for our children to enjoy at the Minnesota State Fair. Everyone should be able to experience the fair in a way that makes them feel comfortable and welcome. The Sensory Friendly morning will take place on Monday, August 28th, and will feature lowered sound volumes and light brightness for those with sensitivities.
