PIN TRADING

A very popular activity during the Provincial Fair is the exchange of pins.  Students enjoy trading pins from their city, school or school board with other delegates throughout the Fair and taking them home as souvenirs at the end of the event.  We encourage counsellors to assist their students in arranging to bring along a collection of these pins for trading throughout the Fair.
