| November 11, 2016 -- Colchester Grange #78 members took an active part at the Annual Family Fun Day held at Zagray Farm in Colchester. The Collaborative for Colchester’s Children has created a partnership with parents, educators, community members, agencies and businesses to work together to provide services and support to children and their families from birth through age 8. The group focuses on four strategy areas that will benefit the town’s children and provide the youngest citizens with the opportunity to succeed,
Many agencies took part in the wonderful day for families. Varies groups pointed out many interesting facts to families as they walked through the beautiful well-kept fields. Healthy eating habits and snacks were available to the attendees. Various groups (i.e.): the garden club, scouts, sport groups and the Colchester Grange introduced everyone to the interesting components of their organization or group.
Colchester Grange #78 offered hay rides to participants. Chris Bourque, Colchester Grange member enjoyed the fun filled day with family members taking the ride. The Grange membership also had pigs and a baby goat. Members were able to talk to families on the need for good farming and how to care for the animals. |
