Fun shows. Kids love the Saloon Show. Mine love all the circuses, acrobats, island dancers, especially Fire dancers, & animal shows. They also love the dance parties. My little sisters favorites are the clogging competitions. 

There are lot of crafters to watch. My kids like the pottery makers & especially the candy making. The crafters are also usually nice & engage children well, & don't mind answering questions or bantering with children. Most the demos are in a large enough & loud enough area, children don't have to be perfectly still or quiet to watch the demonstrations.
