Well, we’re at it again. The Kootenai County North Idaho Fair (Aug. 20-24) and the Spokane County Interstate Fair (Sept. 2-12) are upon us, and our Inland Northwest Freethought Society and Spokane Secular Society are joining again to have booths at those fetes.
This is our third year at the Idaho fair, and we have found the experience there and in Spokane gratifying. Like your “Ask an Atheist” buddy here at SpokaneFAVS, our participation at the fairs is an opportunity not only to make ourselves known to the larger community (where nonbelievers can see they are not alone) but also as a way for people of faith to interact with us and find out maybe there are less differences between us than you might think at first glance.
So just as the “Ask an Atheist” button acts as an invitation for dialogue, so too any followers of Spokane Faith & Values who attend either of those fairs are heartily invited to stop by our tables there to say hi and have a chat.
Don’t be shy. We aren’t. At least not anymore.
