A Fair is a Veritable Smorgasbord... of Learning

As a local mom and tech junky, I felt the NB MOMS page would be a great joint venture for me to share the gift of learning while featuring the wonderful New Braunfels locale.

With the Comal County Fair quickly approaching, I decided to have it serve as the vehicle for my first official post. Being an app addict and blogger, I enjoy sharing new resources (especially free ones) with moms and educators alike. As we will be capturing fair and parade pics of our children and loved ones, it occurred to me that this could be a wonderful way to promote local events, share our favorite pics from the fair and parade, and leave with more than just a funnel cake stomach-ache. 


Thus, I am proposing a Funky Fair Pics Contest (see contest rules and tools below).
