Located behind Archie Moore's and Harrison's Hardware, Big Toys bring you closer to some of that 'big toy' action with events such as:
  • Rock Wall  climbing hosted by Connecticut Rock Gym. Challenge you skills (and your friends) in scaling a 30' wall. The view is great from the top. For all the times you have wondered what it would be like to try climbing, the folks at Connecticut Rock Gym will be happy to give you your first leg up!
  • BMX Bicycle Stunt Show - back again by popular demand. Riders will be performing at noon, 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Brought to you by downtown Milford's own Tony's Bikes & Sports, this team of riders has no fear of soaring up and over quarter-pipe ramps. Don't try this at home but come and see how the pros do it! 
  • Test your hockey slapshot skills with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers and visit with their mascot, Storm. Line up to take a slap shot in their outdoor 20'X12' "hockey rink." Storm will also be visiting the Childrens' Entertainment area at Fowler Pavilion.
  • Climb on board the U.S. Coast Guard Patrol Boat 73 sponsored by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary!
  • The U.S. Army National Guard returns with their decked-out Hummer, so have a seat in the Hummer and talk to the National Guard about their life in the Guard. WYBC morningshow
  • WYBC 94.3 FM will be your radio hosts for the day spinning some great R&B hits and oldies for your listening pleasure.
