LillyBrooke Family Justice Center has announced it will hold its sixth annual kids fair on April 25.
Located at the Bonner County Fairgrounds, the event includes free admission, activities, food and treats.
“This annual event raises funds to support child victims, increases awareness about child abuse and neglect and celebrates the amazing kids and families in our community,” LBFJC Director Alison Fox said.
The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will feature children’s activities and crafts, emergency vehicle displays, giveaways and prizes, interactive booths, local community resources, and food vendors.
“LillyBrooke hosted its first kids fair in April 2021, and it was an overwhelming success. Our annual fair is made possible thanks to the generous contributions of local businesses and organizations whose donations help us keep this a free community event and allow us to continue providing vital services to victims of violent crime,” Fox said.
LillyBrooke first opened its doors in 2017, and has since served hundreds of crime victims, assisted in dozens of forensic interviews and provided courthouse support for vulnerable victims going through the legal process.
