Danbury Mayor Roberto Alves and State Senator Julie Kushner were also in attendance. 

Breakfast, workshops, activities for children, community resources, and raffles were available at the site. 

Childcare centers, family support providers, and other non-profit agencies serving Danbury families such as Families Network of Western Connecticut, CIFC, Harambee Center, and the United Way, were among more than 50 vendors at the Fair. 

This initiative was a collaboration between Danbury Public Schools, the Community Action Agency of Western Connecticut-Action Early Learning Center, and Danbury School Readiness. 

“It was a perfect example to show that it truly takes a village to raise a child. We had over 50 agencies that offer services for the children in the community that did show up despite the pouring rain," said Mini Santosh-Childcare Director with the Community Action Agency of Western-Action Early Learning Center.
