BRSEAKING: Saturday & Sunday Outdoor Arts Festival Events Canceled Newtown Cultural Arts Commission has made “the difficult decision,” Commission Chair Laura Lerman told The Newtown Bee this morning, to cancel the outdoor events planned at Fairfield Hills that were to be the bulk of the 2023 Newtown Arts Festival. Newtown Cultural Arts Commission has made “the difficult decision,” Commission Chair Laura Lerman told The Newtown Bee this morning, to cancel the outdoor events planned at Fairfield Hills that were to be the bulk of the 2023 Newtown Arts Festival.The decision was made “due to the impending weather forecast of heavy rain and potential high winds for Saturday and Sunday as well as potential thunderstorms,” according to a letter sent to the weekend’s vendors, which was shared by Lerman with this newspaper.“We feel it is best to put safety first,” the letter continued.Tonight’s Music Under the Stars concert, an performance by Red Matter scheduled for 7 pm, is still on, she confirmed.Plans for tomorrow night’s Flagpole Radio Café featuring Loudon Wainwright III at Edmond Town Hall have not been changed, she added.“Please come and join us for these amazing events,” the arts festival committee urged vendors and the public. “Thank you for your understanding and patience with us as this was an extremely difficult decision to make.”Questions or concerns can be directed to newtownartsfestival@gmail.com.
This essay highlights the significance of maintaining historical and cultural landmarks for future generations. It is meant to act as a constant reminder that once these things are misplaced, there is no way to get them back. A compelling call to duty in the interest of safeguarding our history.
While I am mildly concerned to learn that this candidate is running for a spot on the LC, I am especially concerned that the Democratic Town Council sees fit to endorse this person's run for office. Are they simply desperate to fill the ticket, or do they actually embrace his behavior and language? I would expect that any voter who witnessed Mr. Hinden in action at recent town meetings would understand that he is unfit to serve the public.
This is a really astonishing Letter to the Editor. There is little, if anything, in this text that explains why you should consider voting for this individual. Rather, it is focused on highlighting a raw (now closed) issue and vilifying members of the other political party. Not to be overlooked, the discussion on certain books in Town schools was a matter handled by the Board of Education. I am still trying to understand how it has anything to do with his candidacy for Legislative Council. Vote carefully, friends.
