BURRILLVILLE – Putnam Police Department has partnered with Buckleupallofus for National Child Passenger Week in 2021. A recent Buckleupallofus classic car and truck show was hosted by The Crossings Restaurant and Putnam Bank located at Union Square in Putnam, Conn.

Today is the first day of National Child Passenger Safety Week, running from Sunday, Sept. 19 through Saturday, Sept. 25. At the show, Putnam Police Chief, Chris Ferace, sponsored the Bucky Kids Safety Classic Car Show trophy and chose the vehicle he liked the most to win that trophy to take home. Plenty of Bucky safety coloring posters were passed out to kids in attendance. They also received free brownies topped with vanilla ice cream from The Crossings Restaurant while coloring the cartoons with their favorite colors.
