Notes/comments	A successful approach to the Water Fairs is to conduct this as a multi-county program. A group of counties works together with agents making up the committee. Each county chooses one school to conduct the program. All agents work together in conducting the Water Fair on site for each of the schools to help divide up the responsibilities. A county may also conduct the water fair independently using adult volunteers, resource speakers, teen leaders to assist in teach the workshop sessions at the school. If this approach is taken, involve volunteers and teens in your county to create the task force. This committee should work on setting dates for the water fair events, securing the needed resources for student and teacher packets from donors, developing marketing strategies for recruiting school/classes to participate, etc.
