Photos: The Fair is a smashing success

The Fair, a significant part of Vikings for Change Month at Western Washington University, attracted roughly 500 people who played games, shared ideas and networked with local sustainable groups, said Seth Vidana, director of Western's Office of Sustainability.

The event, which was free and open to the public, featured free local food samples, 21 carnival games, a model residence for low-impact living, booths from local sustainable groups, a scavenger hunt and $900 in prizes.
