Our town's annual fundraiser is a big festival the weekend of Summer Solstice. To reach out to the community, our church volunteered to run the kids' game booths. It was a big success! We were able to hand out tracts and invitations to VBS, and several good conversations happened, sharing the gospel with unbelievers. 
Since we were also running a rummage sale at the church on Saturday (to raise money for Operation Christmas Child boxes...our goal is to ship 100 of them this year), we were short on manpower for the booths all day, too. So our parent church sent a few volunteers over, which was a huge help and blessing! (And my family came down for the day, and were a huge help with our kids to enable us to do all we needed to do)!
We had a Sand Art booth, Duck Pond, Lollipop Pull, and Bean Bag Toss...and with the Christian prizes we gave out, there are tons of reminders floating around for these kids that Jesus loves them!
It was also a great opportunity to teach the kids in our church about serving. Here, Andrew is chilling out at his post behind the bean bag toss board...waiting to retrieve more bean bags!
