The first FCDC Play Day took place on Hartford Street near 6th Street. On one side of the street is an old building with broken windows and graffiti on the side. On the other side is an open field. The city owns this building and the lot across the street. According the Lori Walters<\/a>, director of the FCDC, they dream of\u00a0using it one day as a neighborhood space.<\/p>\n

Among the festivities today were corn hole, basketball, soccer, and computer programming. Yes, computer programming! Engineer students and graduates within the college ministry taught basics of computer programming to young people in the neighborhood. One of the dreams of the FCDC is to do technology repair workshops on devices such as iPods, iPads, and iPhones to introduce new trades to the children for potential future job skills.<\/p>\n

Families of all ages engaged with the northern neighborhood of Lafayette.\u00a0The thunderstorms came on strong before and after the event, but the sun shined down on the FCDC Play Day.<\/p>\n
