Volunteers spread word of Lab to thousands during State Fair

A sincere thank you from the Director's Office and its Public Affairs staff to everyone who helped make the Jefferson Lab exhibit at the State Fair a hit among fair goers this year!

Nearly 300,000 of the half-million people attending the State Fair went through the Commonwealth Technology building. Over the course of the 11-day event nearly 40 volunteers staffed the Lab's booth, answered the public's questions, and gave cryogenic demonstrations. This was the Lab's fifth year participating at the State Fair.

"Thanks to all for understanding the importance of public outreach and helping us spread the word about Jefferson Lab's science, mission and goals," said Linda Ware, Lab Public Affairs manager. A special thanks to Jan Tyler and the education staff for developing and preparing all of the materials for the booth. The Periodic Table book covers and the tangram puzzles received many compliments from fair goers!
