April is Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Month, and this year’s event theme is “It takes a village to raise a child.” On April 5, the 44th Annual Children’s Fair — sponsored in part by the Imperial County Child Abuse Prevention Council — is taking place at Bucklin Park in El Centro from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. More than 100 organizations; businesses; service groups; and federal, state, and local government offices and services will be present to share information about resources to help strengthen families in Imperial County. Emergency services and law enforcement staff will greet families, activities will be available for children of all ages, and food vendors and music will be on site for everyone’s enjoyment.
