On Sunday, families gathered in Community Field in Jaffrey for the 16th annual Jaffjam Family Jamboree.
Organized by Harvest Christian Fellowship and sponsored by various town organizations and businesses, the event is part fair, part service to the community. Described as a “party with a purpose” Jaffjam combines fair games, face-painting, hot dogs and ice cream, live music and giveaways of new backpacks, haircuts, diapers and pull-ups for children.
The theme of the backpacks was “packed with God’s love.”
