So Much to Love About
New Canaan!
_______________________________________________________________
Don't you just love New Canaan?
 
NC ToyOne thing I love about New Canaan is the shop keepers. One of my all time favorites, Chris Kilbane of the New Canaan Toy Store, is on the move.  Luckily for all of us, he isn't moving far! New England's oldest toy store voted "best of" Fairfield County is moving to 94 Park Street (next to CVS) giving them more space and more parking!  What makes Chris so special? He lives in New Canaan, works in his store, is always happy, knows your name, welcomes children, employs our youth, gives back to his community, offers to wrap everything (with a smile) and will even deliver your item to the curb if you call ahead.  Now, what's not to love! Be sure to visit Chris in his new location.

Do you lay awake worrying that your teen will not arrive home safely? Do you feel ALONE as the strictest parent in town? Are you reactive rather than proactive when it comes to parenting your teenager? Do you wish you had a better handle on the current party scene? Do you wish your teen would exhibit greater reliability? If you answered YES to any of these questions, then "Navigating the Teen Party Scene" is for you. Come learn what constitutes the party scene our youth experience in New Canaan, and how we can navigate its ups and downs. Open to the public at no charge.
