Here at Car Donation Wizard, we obviously love all things car themed. That’s why when we saw that Habitat for Humanity’s Cars for Homes program was building TWO car themed playhouses at the Kern County Fair in Bakersfield, CA, we were thrilled.
The idea started with two great plans, one resembling a Ford “Woody” complete with a beachy surf board on top and one tie-dye painted VW Minibus.
The annual Kern County Fair happens in Bakersfield, California for a full week and a half of fun, food, livestock, entertainment, and live playhouse building! As the 48th largest fair in the U.S. they can expect up to 300,000 visitors to pass by booths like Habitat for Humanity’s!
Volunteers were spotted in Jan Eliot (Stone Soup comic artist) designed Cars for Homes t-shirts.
Bakersfield area volunteers helped construct the two playhouses over the course of the fair. It was the hope of Habitat for Humanity – Golden Empire that the playhouses would attract the attention of fair goers and help raise awareness of the Cars for Homes program. Cars for Homes is Habitat’s vehicle donation program. They provide a simple and effective way to donate a car or other vehicle and have it help in Habitat’s mission to end poverty housing. Once the playhouses are complete, at the end of the fair, Habitat plans to donate them to a children’s home in the area.
A few days later the playhouses were really coming together:
