Fresh food fair this weekend

Forbes Shire families are invited to experience the first ever Woolworths Fresh Food Kids Fresh Fair, to learn more about fruit and vegetables in a fun and interactive way.

Fresh Food Kids Fresh Fairs will be held at Woolworths Forbes from 11am - 3pm this Saturday and Sunday.

Kids will have the opportunity to explore three stalls where they can try new fruit and vegetables, learn some easy fruit dishes, explore their various textures and colours, and play veggie-inspired games.

“We know that getting children to eat fruit and veg every day can be tricky,” Woolworths Forbes Store Manager, Noel Reardon said.

"Helping our kids make smart and fresh food choices is important to us, and the Woolworths Fresh Food Kids Fresh Fair is a great way to encourage children to embrace fruit and vegetables in an entertaining way.”

Families can pick up a ‘Passport Booklet’ as they enter the store and then visit three stalls within the fruit and vegetable department, collecting stickers for getting involved in activities along the way.

“It’s going to be a fun family event where the kids can really deep dive into the wonderful and colourful world of fresh fruit and vegetables,” Mr Reardon said.

“They will have something to play, learn and try as they visit each stall.”
