“Neighbors always help you out. That’s what a good neighbor’s all about” – Daniel Tiger

This free family event was held at Canan Commons and focused on the importance of being a good neighbor. Children were invited to use a “neighborhood map” to visit all of the booths where our community’s great neighbors “live.”

The organizations at each booth offered activities that touched on the importance of being a good neighbor or giving back to your community.
