Curious George Fun Day was a one day program held at Butler County High School. Second and third graders were invited to attend and experience a day of fun and reading. The children received a t-shirt and the book Curious George Takes a Job Throughout the day children had the opportunity to paint, decorate cookies, make skits, watch a Curious George film and have free play time. The children were also served breakfast and lunch. FCCLA members Allison Kurfiss, Bailey Hunt and Rachel Johnson coordinated the event. The members said that they wanted to have this day because there are so many activities for children surrounding sports and other things but few that emphasize reading. They said they felt it was important to show the children that reading can be fun and can be applied to everyday life.
