Heritage Brick Ceremony Nov. 2020


Heritage Brick Ceremony Nov. 2020


A small crowd gathered on Small Business Saturday morning for our Heritage Brick ceremony where we placed engraved bricks into the Brick Patio on Broad Street. Some bricks were in honor of individuals and families, and some were in remembrance of loved ones lost. Many bricks were installed and their stories told. Thank you to all who commemorated loved ones and events with Heritage Bricks.

The next installation will take place in the spring. If you'd like to purchase a brick, they can be ordered online or by calling 860-247-8982.

Torchlight Parade 2020


Torchlight Parade 2020


Even a pandemic can't keep a good parade down! We had socially distanced markers for families along the parade route to keep people safe as they enjoyed 20+ colorfully decorated vehicles as they processed down Capen Street and then through the center of town to celebrate the upcoming holidays! Save the date for next year's parade when we hope to bring the Carol Sing back!
