Fair Queen Coloring Contest
We are partnering with the Albion Area Public Library and the Albion Fair Queen Program for a Community Coloring Contest honoring one of our local historic sites: Children in age range from Pre-K to 5th Grade are eligible, and prizes will be awarded in both age categories. Prizes will include a Ride-A-Rama Pass for the Historic Carousel in time for the 80th Albion Area Fair! Coloring pages can be picked up at the Albion Library or The Little Church on the Hill, and dropped off either location as well as the Albion Fair Office. Best of luck to all of our young artists, and we can't wait to see your creativity!
Mini Coffee House at the Albion Fair

featuring Claire Vimala Anderson
We are very excited to welcome Claire to our coffeehouse located near the stone house in gazebo at the Albion Fair
Claire is a Northwestern alumni who has traveled extensively and shares her experiences through many mediums including her writings and photography and is a talented musician.
Claire was a featured speaker during our 40th year remembrances of the Albion Tornado of 1985 where she shared the writings of her late father, Dr. William Anderson, who was one of the first responders to the devastation left by the tornado.
It will be a great show, plus you won't want to miss opportunities to purchase tickets on our Special Fair Basket and Quarterly Raffles. Tickets are $1 each or 6/$5 for all drawings, and all will be drawn at the end of the Mini Coffee House.
