New Canaan is going to continue celebrating FOOD REVOLUTION on Saturday May 17th, with a block party and mini market. We are working with the New Canaan Chamber, schools, local restaurants and food places to create a 'Bravery Passport'. These will be handed out to children of ALL AGES, so they can visit participating restaurants and businesses to 'taste something different'. Once they try an unusual dish or single ingredient (even if it is a teeny bite) they will receive a stamp - simple as that! Once the kids have completed their passport stamps, they will receive a 'bravery' certificate, can join in the block party and will be entered into a prize draw.

This is going to be a fantastic way for families to visit many restaurants on the morning of Sat May 17th. Simply collect the stamps, have fun and see who will be crowned BRAVEST eater.
