ANSONIA - The 15th Annual Children’s Health and Safety Fair will be “treating” families to Halloween fun from 3-8 p.m. Oct. 28 at Warsaw Park on Pulaski Highway.
Griffin Hospital Community Outreach and Valley Parish Nurse Program, The Valley Community Foundation, Safe Kids Greater Naugatuck Valley, and Griffin Faculty Physicians encourage families to put on their Halloween costumes and come to a “Halloween Hoopla,” featuring free healthy treats, games, and information on a variety of health, wellness, and safety programs.
The event will be held rain or shine.
“The Halloween Hoopla will be a safe, family-friendly environment where children can do their trick-or-treating and the whole family can learn about important information that will keep them safe and healthy on Halloween and year-round,” said Daun Barrett, RN, Director of Griffin Hospital's Community Outreach and Valley Parish Nursing Program.
Interactive health, wellness and safety displays at the event will include poison prevention, good hand washing, and how to call 9-1-1.
There will also be a bike helmet clinic and a safety house exhibit to teach about safety features in homes. Free bike helmets will be available for the first 500 children.
