“The seafair community events program sanctioned 35 community events in 2013, which represent the fabric, culture, and personality of the puget sound region, as part of the seafair schedule of events. Working with mostly volunteer leaders from each community, seafair provided expertise to train and educate event organizers to coordinate schedules, permits, vendors, and publicity to ensure the public participates in these community celebrations. The biggest change in 2013 was the amount of networking and working with one another between the events. Event organizers took it upon themselves to connect with one another and work together to solve problems and improve their events. Additionally, the seafair foundation's youth education program provides the opportunity for elementary students to learn about and appreciate the history of seafair and the role of hydroplane racing and aviation in our community. This program explores the math and science behind both racing and aviation. Hydroplane drivers, miss seafair and other prominent individuals teach this multi-dimensional education program. In 2013, we increased our exposure in the community by visiting 300 students at 5 schools in greater puget sound. Each student learned a great deal and got to sit in a vintage hydroplane courtesy of the hydroplane and raceboat museum. Students also received their own mini-hydroplane kit during the classroom visit.”
