Connecticut Sirens, Sergeants, and Firefighters and many more will be at Litchfield Crossing’s Annual Touch A Truck Day on May 6th, from 9 am to 2 pm. The event is sponsored by Bright Path Kids for the benefit of the New Milford Police Cadet Program, established to help New Milford Youth “learn about teamwork, community service and leadership.”

In addition to an array of awe-inspiring vehicles, craft tables, courtesy of Bright Path Kids, will be available while parents tour the school’s brand-new state of art facility boasting an award-winning curriculum, spacious classrooms, a large play area, and a highly qualified staff, on-site to meet and greet.

There will also be Child Safety Seat Installations by Certified Child Passenger Seat Technicians who will be on hand to make sure your child safety seats are installed and being used correctly.  No longer do you have to have an engineering degree to install a child’s safety seat, just spend a few minutes with New Milford’s finest.

Says New Milford, Sgt. Jim Dzamko, “We are delighted for this opportunity to debut the Department’s Cadet program to the community and introduce New Milford teens to an exciting career option. Hopefully giving them an idea of who we are and what we do as police officers, providing a safe and secure environment for our Town”

Adds Kristen N. Gizzi, Executive Director of New Milford’s largest shopping center, “Litchfield Crossings is proud to host along with Bright Path Kids sponsorship for the benefit of the New Milford Cadet Program. I would like to thank the event participants including Emmons Tree, Modezelewski Recovery & Towing and Water Witch Hose Company.  We encourage all our friends and neighbors to support this exciting new program. Once again, thank you all.”
