A large crowd at the Family Affair.

Designed especially for families expecting a child or with children under the age of four, the Family Affair provided a wide range of resources aimed at supporting parents and young children. Families were welcomed with a light lunch, refreshments, and the chance to win giveaways and door prizes throughout the day.
