What exactly does "sensory-friendly" entail? It means that on a chosen day, for two hours, the carnival will cater specifically to those with sensory sensitivities. During this time, every effort will be made to minimize noise and lights, creating a serene atmosphere where individuals can enjoy the attractions without feeling overwhelmed.

Moreover, this special event comes with an extra dose of kindness—it's completely free of charge! This means that families and individuals who often face barriers to participating in such activities due to sensory challenges can now experience the thrill of the fair without any financial burden.

By implementing this Sensory-Friendly Carnival Day, the Upper Missouri Valley Fair not only demonstrates its commitment to inclusivity but also sets a commendable example for other events and organizations. It sends a powerful message of acceptance and understanding, fostering a community where everyone feels valued and embraced.

So mark your calendars and spread the word! Let's come together to celebrate diversity and create lasting memories at the Upper Missouri Valley Fair's Sensory-Friendly Carnival Day. It's a small step towards a more inclusive society, but one that holds immeasurable significance for those it touches.
