State Sen. Joe Crisco, Jr., D-Woodbridge, talks with the 2016 winner of the "Connecticut Family Day" poster contest during an award ceremony Sunday at the New England Carousel Museum in Bristol. 
This year's Family Day theme was "siblings." 
The winner - whose identity is not being revealed due to her foster family placement - is a 14-year-old girl with several brothers and sisters. 
"Families fight for each other, not with each other - my mom actually says this when we're arguing," the contest winner said.

Crisco created Connecticut Family Day nearly 20 years ago as a way to promote the virtues of family and parenting by setting aside a day each year for families to spend together.
