Planning for the semi-annual Children’s Fair began in the early fall of last year.  When the tragic events of Sandy Hook occurred co-owner of Newtown based Connectologie, Lisa Agresta, who also is a resident of Newtown and a mom of three young children, reflected on whether to continue with the event or if the venue should be relocated.  After careful consideration, Lisa Agresta
said, “My business partner and I decided to continue with the event here in Newtown because this is my home and events like this are important to the community.”  It was also decided to support the community by donating all proceeds from ticket and event giveaways to the Newtown Memorial Fund.

The Newtown Memorial Fund’s mission is to create a sustainable fund to provide for the immediate and ongoing needs of those affected by the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy, to construct a physical memorial honoring the lives lost on December 14, 2012, and to establish
academic scholarships in the victims’ names for future generations of Newtown students. “We are thrilled to be associated with and be the beneficiary of such a diverse and fun event like this. The event in and of itself can help our community to heal, while the funds raised will be added to what we have already collected and begun disbursing quietly through our channels identifying needs of those affected," said Brian Mauriello, Chairman and Founder of the Newtown Memorial Fund.

Tickets to Kidologie Gets Ready for Summer can be purchased online at www.kidologie.com or at the door the day of the event. Ticket Prices are $5.00 per adult. Children 12 and under are FREE.  While supplies last, families purchasing tickets ahead of time will be guaranteed a chance at winning the “Golden Ticket” grand prize which will be hidden in one of the 400 goody bags
distributed at the door.  Reserved bags must be picked up by 12:30pm on the day of the event.

Thank you everyone for your comments. Carl - will try not to be offended by your "anyone withRead More half a brain" comment. I am dismayed to hear Dawn that you have made this effort and been turned down by the town and police department (it's not uncommon for me to see the police speeding up and down Moose Hill Road too!) Glad to hear, though, that I am not alone in seeing a need for people to get a grip on the road. Slow down. Hang up. Comply with stop signs and stop lights. Be courteous.

I have been tail-gated so many times - everywhere in Monroe - I drive a little over the posted speedRead More limit BUT I respect the people walking (most of the time in the wrong direction) and bike riders (they too ride in the wrong direction. HANG UP THE PHONE - DON'T PIGGY BACK thru a stop sign, and learn the right of way rule. AND STOP SIGNS mean S T O P!!! Robin lane people are good for running stop signs. And Pepper Street is 25 mph - NOT 45 or 50!!! Walkers & runners FACE TRAFFIC - Bike riders RIDE WITH TRAFFIC. AND one more thing - don't block the drive ways if there is a stop light - and someone coming in or out - let them and move on. THANKS for letting me get this off my chest!!!!!

Good luck Laura, My husband and I tried to get some on Purdy Hill Road from Rt.111 to Rt.25. theyRead More said they can't do it. I have asked numerous times to have a police officer sit in Farmview or use our driveway, said it's too dangerous, go figure. Tired of drivers around town having no respect for other drivers and people walking on side of road. It gets to the point that I don't even want to leave my house. Get a clue people slow down, stay off phones, it's not hard.
