Yankee Fair & Teddy Bear

Parade Returns Oct. 16

BROOKFIELD â The Congregational Church of Brookfield will host its 30th annual Yankee Fair on Saturday, October 16, from 10 am to 3 pm. Grandmaâs Attic and Collectibles Cottage will open one hour earlier, at 9 am.

The theme this year is âA Teddy Bear Country Fair,â celebrating teddy bears. Visitors of all ages are invited to enjoy bears in all shapes and sizes, new and old, at a special teddy bear exhibit. Children should bring their favorite teddy bear, which will allow them to participate in a Teddy Bear Parade at 11 am and 2 pm.

The fair will offer handcrafted items in Christmas, quilting, wood shop, garden and stitchery booths. Other offerings will include a tag sale called Grandmaâs Attic, a cottage of collectibles with some antiques, a used books booth and a used toys booth.

Live music and a clown, face painting and games, and lunch selections will also be available.

The WestConn Campus Ministry and Hanahoe Childrenâs Clinic will be the benefactors of half the fair proceeds.

Brookfield Congregational Church is at the junction of routes 133 and 25. For more information call 775-1259.

A Note Of Thanks For Garden Club Efforts

We all would like nothing to change, but look at how much this proposed property will add to the grand list. The eastern lot is currently assessed at $352,000 which brings in just under $10k in property value. I appreciate you taking note that the new houses will be $1,000,0000 EACH! This means the property, including club house, pickleball courts, skeet range, putting greens could be assessed at 117 million which would collectively bring in over $3,000,000 in tax revenue. This could also mean over 200 new luxury cars which brings in over $300k in additional revenue. Let's be honest though, they will register out of state. Either way, let's be honest here, if we had 3 MILLON more tax revenue the school wouldn't have to worry about canceling Spanish classes for kindergarteners. Lets get it passed!

Development Of Unprotected Land Could Permanently Change Character Of The Borough

Leave the 'Rich" alone. 50% of this country pay no taxes. And many get money back. The taxpayers on the 'Gold' coast here in CT keep Hartford and Bridgeport afloat. Run them out of town and see what happens.

Solve The Deficit & Debt Problem: Tax The Rich

There is a lot of waste still that can be eliminated - like school buildings that could be consolidated.

Yes, she did say that. Why would any bureaucrat publicly admit they made a mistake or recommended violating policy? Yet others, including board members, acknowledged naming the vendor for the routing services as All Star was "a mistake" and likely poisoned the well to other bidders (as was explicitly specifying the fuel type of the rolling stock.) While the members knew they did not get a competitive response to the RFP, they awarded the contract anyway... to the same vendor who got a no-bid contract in 2017. That means Newtown's ~$4.5M annual bus contract has not been put out to bid in 10 years, something to consider when asking why our PPE is so high.

Concerns With Adherence To School District Policies

They clearly didn't get the message ! CUT THE BUDGET by 20% , not raise it ! Newtown spends $2,500,000.00 every week now ! It will be $2.6m if you approve it ! Who are these people not paying attention to the cost of living? Throwing money at the school administration will not make your kids any smarter ! We are at $22K per kid per year, that is insane ! CUT THE BUDGET ! Go show up and VOTE, because 1200 people who voted yes will show up again, and it's the 1200 people who decide your cost of living for years to come. 51% voters turnout should be mandated to approve the budget, not pathetic 15% of voters. Stop these nonsensical referendums and send everyone a card in the mail so we have a true outcome what people actually want.
