Busy Saturday

Bright and early on saturday, I had the chance to join the Hamden PTA Color Me Run 5k! Miss Fairfield County's Outstanding Teen, Emerson Forbes, and I had the pleasure of leading off the run and getting drenched head to toe in color! I love fundraising events like this because not only do they bring the community together, they also get people moving and staying active! It is so important to keep moving and this was a fantastic opportunity for families, especially with such a fun atmosphere including a festival too!




The festival by P.L.A.C.E multicultural center was the perfect fall themed fair and we were joined by Miss Fairfield County, Sylvana Gonzalez! It included so many different vendors and activities for both children and adults. They had food, pumpkins, clothes, art, performers, and more! Smiles were all around from beginning to end!




I had the chance to talk with the fabulous mayor of Hamden, Curt Leng and learn a little more about the town and its community! Furthermore, I had the opportunity to meet those that protect it! The police of Hamden talked to us about their procedures and let us sit in the breast cancer awareness vehicle!


I also gained a new obsession! Have you ever heard of Slice of New Haven? Well they serve fire grilled pizzas from their food truck and I really hope you run into them because it is SO worth it! I also had the chance to receive some art from Adila Khan Henna Art! Her henna is chemical free and her art is beautiful! If you have a moment check her out!

    

All in all a fun day bonding with sisters and getting to know the wonderful community of Hamden!
