That’s certainly what the town did in 2015 when hundreds of people gathered in the Borough Hall for a Baby Celebration event.
More than 200 primary pupils were there to pay tribute to the Roots of Empathy, an innovative programme that encourages children to interact in a nurturing manner by bringing a baby - known as a Tiny Teacher - and parent into the classroom.
Pupils from schools including Stranton and Brougham primaries thanked their tiny teachers by writing wishes for their futures and hanging them on a special tree at the celebration.
Were you there and what do you remember of the day? Perhaps these photos will jog your memory.
