New Fairfield Town Hall was lit in purple Saturday night in honor of Epilepsy Awareness Day.  Celebrated annually, the day was created to increase the public’s understanding of this brain disorder and to eliminate the fear and stigma surrounding it. Over 3.5 million people are diagnosed with epilepsy in the U.S. and over 50 million worldwide.  It can be easily managed if diagnosed and treated correctly, so officials say awareness and research are important.
