We are teaming up with the Family Resource Center to host a series of three “Picnic & Play” meet-ups on Fridays at parks in the North Country this summer. After listening to what families we were looking for, we came up with fun offerings at three different locations that will help bring people together and take advantage of our town’s assets. We will be offering free peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, applesauce, and cold bottled water for families to enjoy a picnic together, paired with fun things to do.
First up in Stratford on June 28, we will get together at the Pavilion on the Common, next to the Stratford Public Library. People can sit to enjoy lunch at the picnic tables in the shade, and the kids can even sing & dance on the stage there if they’d like! When folks are ready we’ll head on down to the Back Street River Park to play with soccer balls, basketballs, bubbles & families can bring bikes or scooters to ride around on the court.
We hope that these opportunities to gather will increase social connections in our communities, open up eyes to the wonderful places we have in our towns, and provide fun ways for families to enjoy time together this summer.
