A Thank You from the Wilton Parks and Rec

On Saturday, June 11, several families and friends of Wilton Parks & Recreation and Sharon’s On School Road welcomed summer to Wilton at our first Family Fun Day. Several On School Road parents were instrumental in helping to plan this 2011 Family Fun Day and approximately 30 volunteers were on hand that day. The event proceeds will benefit the Wilton Parks & Recreation children’s programs with renovation of the Comstock Community Center playground and the scholarship fund.
