Somerset County 4-H Senior Council will be hosting a children’s charity craft fair to benefit the Children’s Specialized Hospital Foundation. It will be held at the Ted Blum 4-H Center at 310 Milltown Road in Bridgewater.
The Children Helping Children Fair is where children bring their homemade items and use booths to sell them to the people who come. Profits will go towards the Children’s Specialized Hospital Foundation. These funds will go into research, equipment, and anything else the hospitals need.
Somerset County 4-H Senior Council is a teen run club that focuses on community service projects throughout the year. The goals of the event are not just focused on helping a non-profit but also to have those who participate as vendors develop their communication and entrepreneurial skills.

Combined sewer overflows (CSO's), have been in use since the middle 1800's in many large American cities including 21 cities in New Jersey. Initially, they were thought to be a hygienic solution to open-pit sewers. Now these systems are outdated and cause for public and ecological health concerns. The EPA has mandated that all US cities with CSOs eliminate or reduce their overflows. So, what are New Jersey cities doing to reduce their CSOs and what can YOU do to help make this work as sustainable as possible? Join Liz Pyshnik, Program Coordinator with the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program, to find out!
