Five Guys and Starbucks

Several Dayville Connecticut homes have been sold to developers and are being demolished to make way for a Starbucks, Five Guys and Jersey Mikes restaurants and other retail stores. Some folks say it will bring unwanted congestion to the area of historic homes, others are happy to see the new food choices. The property borders Owen Bell Park a heavily used recreation park as well as Killingly Commons a busy shopping center. We can only hope it all turns out well.

Invasion of Jeeps

Music, food trucks, and dozens of super shiny and personalized jeeps lined up around Davis Park in Danielson, CT provided a fun night for hundreds of residents and out of towners on a warm summers night.

Antique Trucks Restored to Perfection

Got to see some beautifully restored trucks at the Brooklyn Fairgrounds this weekend. What a pleasure to know that there are people whe care enough about our history to do this painstaking work. Hope you enjoy this video.

Farm Tractor Pull

Got to spend friday night at a farm tractor pull at the Brooklyn Fairgrounds, first time for me and I really enjoyed it. The tractors are modified to maximize power and they then compete in dragging a sled along a course and the winner is determined by the tractor that pulls the sled the furthest. It takes a skilled driver and a powerful tractor to get the win.

Fabulous Ice Cream on the We Lik It Farm

After a scenic ride through Abington CT. I came upon the We Lik It farm stand which was quite busy with people lined up for their rich and creamy ice cream. Lots of folks viewing the assortment of farm animals while others played games on the large mowed lawn. Great family outing destination.
