The Callaway County Head Start wants its Fulton families to have a ton of fun.

In honor of National Head Start Awareness Month, the organization will hold its first "Full Ton of Fun" event, 4:30-6 p.m. Oct. 29.

Child and Family Development Advocate Melanie Stotler said that the event will be a partnership with several organizations and businesses in the community.

"We asked community members to come and get involved and learn more about the Head Start and Early Head Start program," Stotler said. "We have community members coming in to set up a table and do some activities with children, and we will provide information as well to support our families and community."

Activities will range from face-painting, crafts and a Touch a Truck held by the Fulton police and fire departments and the Callaway County Ambulance District.
