WATCH: Patch Editor, Wife, Child Attend SFV Children's Day

An estimated 50,000 people attended the at Woodley Park in Van Nuys on Saturday.

Among the crowd was me, your faithful North Hollywood-Toluca Lake Patch editor, my lovely wife and wonderful daughter. We were there for some fun, but I was also there scouting out stories for my fellow Patch editors in the San Fernando Valley.

There were over 100 resource booths at the festival. I found , which is located in North Hollywood. I found the , which works with the LAPD in Chatsworth, and I found the of Studio City. I found Grace Phipps of the TV show , which and stars a couple of local talents from the Valley. And I found much, much more, including an OK gyro, games, rides, concerts and many people volunteering their time, efforts and energy to keep the Valley safe for our children. I walked away wondering how we have any crime at all with so many incredible people dedicated to making the Valley safe.

I did not find Fritz Coleman, NBC weatherman, and the event's master of ceremonies, but that's OK, I will find him again soon. The is going to be right around the corner.
