State implements new children's program.

The Judicial Branch, in collaboration with the League of Women Voters and the Museum of Connecticut History, is sponsoring this summer’s second “Day Trips with Kids” on Thursday, Aug. 11.

The “Day Trips with Kids” program is an opportunity for children to have fun while learning about state government at the same time. Activities will include:

• A scavenger hunt in the Museum of Connecticut History, where exhibits trace the growth of the state and its role in the development of the nation;
