Designed to mirror a train ride adventure, attendees will be given a ticket when they arrive to get punched at each stop along the Youth Resource Bazaar journey. At the end of the trip, each attendee will have a free pass to use the Dedham Pool, courtesy of the Dedham Parks and Recreation Department.
“The Dedham community is very fortunate to have this dedicated Town Department available to local youth and families, and this event will help reintroduce ourselves and all we have to offer,” said Youth Commission Director Becky Lavely. “We are fortunate to have amazingly dedicated staff who truly embrace every opportunity to engage with Dedham’s young residents and who work very hard to build strong connections while providing the support to each and every person. This Bazaar is our chance to help broaden our reach and ensure that our resources reach the people who may need them.”
The DYC Youth Resource Bazaar promises to be a fun-filled event packed with interactive booths featuring Town staff and community partners who will provide details about programs and services already in place for youth and families and will be there to answer questions.
Come explore, connect, and enjoy with your family and neighbors. We look forward to seeing you for a day of spirit, service, and support! And don’t miss the obstacle course, vintage cars, and touch-a-truck!
