Snow days are a rite of childhood in Connecticut

Snow days are a rite of childhood in Connecticut

Kids have forever loved the possibility of a snow day. Watching closings scroll across the tv screen, listening for announcements on the radio, calling the snow line and today, waiting for the email/text alert. Snow days—sheer days of childhood joy—are alive and well in Connecticut. 

Yes, e-learning and remote working are entirely feasible, but there is something so delightful about an unplanned day off. We all have work to do, things to learn and days to fulfill, but the Connecticut lifestyle allows, even encourages, you to take a break every now and again.

Some of the best places to get out and enjoy this beautiful weather are found at an Aspetuck Land Trust preserve (ALT). Through gifts of land, money, time and talents, ALT has amassed and maintains 45 trailed preserves and 140 open spaces for public enjoyment and education. Each is different; all are worth visiting. Read on to happy trails!

Pre, Post or Off Broadway, Fairfield County Theater Shines

One of the great benefits of living in Fairfield County is the chance to see Broadway theater. Many of the best plays and musicals in the world are just a train ride away. But another great benefit is: You don’t have to go to New York to see thought-provoking, entertaining, top-shelf theater.

Honor & Celebrate

Honor & Celebrate

Memorial Day is more than just the unofficial start to summer. While many families may be beach-bound, bringing kids to a parade or memorial service is a great way to honor our fallen heroes and pay tribute to those who have served in the military. Join in the local parades, ceremonies and festivities around Fairfield County as we honor and give thanks to veterans who have served.
