The exhibits offer information on after-school and enrichment programs, nutrition education, injury prevention, programs for children with special needs and more.
"It's difficult to be a parent, and they are not alone out there," said The Children's Trust President and CEO James Haj. "There's services and there's providers throughout this community to help with all aspects of raising children and building stronger families."
The event also includes fun activities kids will love, including face painting, arts and crafts, bounce houses, rock climbing walls, interacting with beloved storybook characters and live music and dance performances on two stages.
