Juliette's House kicks off National Child Abuse Prevention Month in April each year with a Safe Kids Fair — community partners getting together to give kids and their parents tips on how to keep kids safe through fun activities, games, and giveaways. This year for the first time, we are excited to be teaming up with Newberg Noon Kiwanis to present a second Safe Kids Fair for the Newberg area in June.
The Police Department, Fire Department, Sheriff’s Department and other agencies and partners get together at the Safe Kids Fair to present various fun and informative actvities. Local agencies, service clubs, businesses and individuals all put forth a big effort to make the Safe Kids Fair a great way for families to spend a few Saturday hours having fun and learning how to stay safe. All activities are free and hot dogs, chips and juice are available at nominal cost.
