AUGUSTA, Ga.---It was a fun time for all at the Augusta Common on Saturday, and it benefited a great cause.

News 12 and our Time to Care partners were on hand for the annual Time to Care Family Fair. The event raised $1600 for tornado victims.

Kids got a chance to pretend to be a forecaster with Chief Meteorologist Bob Smith and do mock interviews with Richard Rogers and Lynnsey Gardner.

"It was an activity for the whole family to participate in, and this is something that as far as awareness for health and wellness is concerned, was something we're interested in as a family," Natasha Brown said.

"My favorite part of the day has been everything," said John Rodgers.

News 12 loves getting to learn more about our viewers, what's important to you and what you think about the job we do.

A special thanks to our Time to Care partners Troy University, Taylor Auto Group and Subway for helping us here at News 12 make the Family Fair a huge success.
