Kids Count

Help teach your kids the value of a nickel with an exhibit called "My Money Matters," co-sponsored by First County Bank and Stepping Stones Museum for Children.

Open on Thursdays and Fridays (July 15, 16, 22 and 23) from 11am-2pm and Saturdays (July 17 and 24) from 9am-noon, the event will be held at the bank's 660 Main Avenue location in Norwalk. It is designed for kids from K-5th grade, and includes educational activities on finance and the significance of money for building a sound future. Smart folks from the museum will be on hand to help keep kids engaged.

If you come, you might just win a $100 savings bond or a family four-pack of passes to Stepping Stones.
