Booths were set up to represent many of the child related services in the area. These included Girl Scouts, WIC, County Health Department, Police doing Children’s ID packets, etc. and of course, the Child Welfare Board which had a booth where literature aimed at positive parenting and stopping child abuse was distributed.
