The town of Branford will join with the State of Connecticut and numerous organizations in celebrating FAMILY DAY on September 29th, 2013 from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.  The event in Branford has been renamed the Pat Andriole Family Day, in honor of the former director of the Branford Counseling Center, who recently retired after serving the town of Branford unselfishly for many years. All events are scheduled to take place on the Branford Town Green.  In the event of inclement weather, all activities will take place inside the Branford Recreation Department.
