North Branford Weekend Events: April 12-14, 2013

For those with school-aged children, today is the start of a long weekend as students have Monday and Tuesday off for April vacation (reminder: school is in session from Wednesday, April 17 to Friday, April 19 due to snow days).

So, what are you doing this weekend? Do you have any special plans for your April break? 

Here are some events that were posted on our calendar for this weekend and beyond. 

Saturday, April 13
Princess Party: New England Ballet Company, Stratford, invites you to bring your little ballerina princesses to enjoy an afternoon of dancing and activities. 

On April 13, the 5th Annual Toy Drive in Honor of James Criscio will be held at North Branford Fire Department Company #4. James began fighting a battle with cancer before he reached his first birthday. This toy drive is in his honor to help all of those children who fight so hard every day just so they can enjoy being kids again. If you can't make the event, there are a number of other drop-off locations as well.
