OUR SISTER GRANGE IN MONROE IS HOLDING A FUND RAISER WITH

PSYCHIC MEDIUM, PATTY GRIFFIN.

Tue, Jun 11, 2024 at 6:30 PM

Seymour Public Library, 46 Church St, Seymour, CT, 06483

The Seymour Library welcomes again the producer and host of the podcast "Amazing Tales From Off and On Connecticut's Beaten Path" Mike Allen. Mr. Allen produces weekly programs on people, places, and events from Connecticut history. His 120+ episodes can be found at his website www.amazingtalesct.com.

His current talk tonight will be Mike's own hometown of Danbury during the American Revolution. It was 1777, early in the Revolutionary War, and an easily accomplished weekend military mission into inland Connecticut was supposed to be a seminal military victory for the British in their attempts to put down the Patriot uprising. The objective was to march from Long Island Sound to Danbury and remove it as a key supply center for the Patriots. It was the first time the British had marched to do battle during the war. 

It didn't work out as exactly planned.

For more information about this free program please call the Library at 203-888-3903. Registration is not needed for this program.

At the Grange - ART CLUB OF OXFORD PRESENTS OUR FIRST

Saturday & Sunday JUNE 15 & 16 I grew up in Monroe and loved going to this festival. Music, food, art/crafts and a generally good vibe for everyone.

SUNDAY JUNE 16 -ALL DAY. - FATHER'S DAY.

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads, past, present and future.



My Dad passed a decade ago and was from 'The Greatest Generation'. He wasn't my 'best friend' didn't try to be 'cool' or offer life advise. Rather the way he showed me how to be a man, was through his actions. He worked in his own business every day (even 1/2 day on Saturdays) , made quiet sacrifices for his family, honored the relationship with his wife (Mom). Worked differences out with people of opposing view, loved being around younger people, kept a youthful attitude, but remembers with deep gratitude how 'he made it' Coming from a poor Italian immigrant family, 8 kids in a 4 room house, using coats as blankets, no oil for the lights. Never bitter about his youth, never complained, and loved America, me, my sister and his wife til the day he left us. Thank you Dad.
