On Saturday, October 3, our Hall Neighborhood House community gathered to celebrate Hall’s 140th anniversary and enjoy a day of fun and friends.

There were activities for all ages, including bounce houses, face painting, live music, food, a STEM table for demonstrations, Senior Bingo, and a Resource Table with donations of books, clothes, and diapers. In addition, teachers and parents showcased their own entrepreneurial endeavors, hosting booths featuring items they created!

Bridgeport’s mayor, Joe Ganim, Chief of Police, Roderick Porter, and Bridgeport Police officers stopped by to connect with our neighbors, and News12 came to spotlight the event.
