Family togetherness is behind Saturday's Family Fun Day in Pinckneyville

PINCKNEYVILLE - April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and for the 16th year, the Perry-Jackson Child Advocacy Center will host Family Fun Day on Saturday, April 7.

The festival will be held 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Pinckneyville Fairgrounds grandstand.

The cause behind the event is serious, but it is meant to be fun, with free food, drinks, door prizes, entertainment and activities for all ages.

"Come out and help us foster family togetherness, enjoy some food and prizes, as well as promoting April as child abuse prevention and awareness month," said Betti Mucha, executive director of the Perry-Jackson Child Advocacy Center.

The Center provides support services and a coordinated investigation to children birth through age 17 who live in Perry or Jackson County, and who have been victims of sexual and/or serious physical abuse.
