Fair Resources

Make a Difference at Your State or County Fair

It may be that you are just the one who is needed at the booth at one particular time." --Pro-Life of Southern Colorado

 

Who Says You Can't Make a Difference and Have Fun, Too?

Give tomorrow's generation something to look up to!
 

Volunteer at a pro-life booth at your local county or state fair and save or change many lives today, while also changing hearts, minds, souls and laws with new evidence about abortion.
 

Or, simply pass along one or more of the blue-ribbon resources below to your local pro-life group to share at fairs and elsewhere.
 

There are many simple ways to use the list of fair-ready pro-woman/pro-life materials below. You can share a link or links. You can forward this newsletter. You can print extra copies of selected resources -- if your local pro-life booth organizers agree -- for them to share at the fair.

Where else can you save a life, change the culture and give new hope to so many while also enjoying a snow-cone, cotton candy, funnel cakes or your favorite fried snack-on-a-stick ... all in the same day? You may even have time for a sky-high ride, a tall slide, a tall lemonade, or an encounter with an extremely tall man!

A fair is a great opportunity to reach new people, to update existing advocates and activists, and to reach out to still other women, men, teens and families and their children who may be at risk, or those already directly or indirectly affected by abortion. That's a lot!
 

The Elliot Institute has distilled a quarter-century's work about abortion's exploitation, risk and impact into user-friendly pro-woman/pro-life resources. The UnChoice materials and other evidence-based resources are ideal for general audiences, such as those at the fair.

It will reach those who may be coerced into unwanted abortions ... who are tolerant of abortion because they think it's about "choice" rather than coercion ... or who are already directly or indirectly hurt by abortion as individuals, friends or family. Whatever option you choose, you'll make serious inroads.
 

These materials are ready to share, but it takes people like you to take them to the people who will show up at a table, a booth or an event.

Download one or more resources from this list and make copies to share with fair-goers and/or your local pro-life booth organizers for blue-ribbon results:
