Summer Cooking And Baking Camps Are Back At Edmond Town Hall

Published: Apr 04, 2026 7:00 am

Edmond Town Hall has offered a unique culinary experience to young community members for the past few summers, and now, summer cooking and baking camps are back at the historic 45 Main Street location.

Attendees will learn real cooking and baking skills from some of the area’s most talented chefs and instructors. These hands-on camps are designed to build confidence, creativity, and independence while having a great time making delicious food. Each camp session focuses on practical techniques, teamwork, and the joy of preparing food from scratch. Campers will mix, bake, grill, and create a variety of dishes while learning skills they can bring home to their own kitchens.

Registration for all of these camps is open now and can be completed by going to edmondtownhall.org and checking out the “Camps & Classes” section of the site.

Chef Joe Attonito, owner of JJ Stacks, will bring a fun and practical savory camp to Newtown from June 29-July 3 and again from July 13-17. Campers will learn essential cooking skills while preparing everyday food. This camp focuses on real kitchen techniques, flavor, and building meals kids will be proud to make and share at home. For the first session (June 29-July 3), ages 7-10 will take place from 9 am-noon, and ages 11-13 will take place from 1-4 pm.

The group of college students reached out to both candidates. One appeared and one did not. The DTC had plans for one not to appear and that was coordinated. I knew before anything was released to the public, of one non appearance being coordinated. Why is a forum such a concern? Why so much promotion of rumors and so many moving over toward the candidacy of Brandin Moore. Including me. The lack of transparency has to end. The manipulation of residents as well. I saw it firsthand and pulled away from the campaign. Nothing sus here just lack of information.

Debate Of One? Change Of Plans Confirmed For April 2 Pre-Caucus Event

Death is not anathema. We all must come to it. It is as sacred as life. Western medicine has given us many benefits. We can cure disease and injury that used to cut life short. We can support healthy aging, giving us more years to enjoy life. But western medicine has its dark side. It tends to make death the enemy, something to be postponed, avoided, fought against regardless of the cost. Quality of life is sacrificed for quantity. Our doctors fight heroically for life, and their commitment is admirable. But they do not always know when and how to step back from the fight. Often, the medical system itself will not allow them to step back from the fight. Medical aid in dying is in part a response to that problem. Many people who seek it are alive because of previous medical intervention that was seen as good at the time. My mother lived many years past the point she wished to be dead. At 96, she stopped eating and drinking. That is not a good way to die. Not good for the one dying, not good for the family present for the dying. Medical aid in dying was not available for her. A dear friend lived with metastasized bone cancer for many years. Despite the pain, he managed with dignity. He lived independently which was essential to his sense of self-worth. At 90, he could no longer care for himself and was ready to die. Unlike my mother, he had access to medical aid in dying. Those of us who loved him were grateful. Proposals for medical aid in dying should be considered seriously. Such a proposal is not a "twisted thing." This kind of legislation arises from compassion and is intended to address a significant societal problem. I applaud our local Commission on Aging for engaging with the issue.

Assisted Suicide (For All Ages)

Christine I truly cannot sufficiently express how appreciative I am of your letter. It means so much to to know that this moment, during this campaign, is the time when you felt you needed to speak out. I also deeply appreciate your attendance at the College Democrats of CT debate. Even though we weren't able to have a full conversation between both candidates, I am still so proud that you took the time out of your evening to learn more about this critical election. Thank you so much!!

Supports Moore

I went last night. As the parent of College age kids (1 in, 1 on the way) I was impressed with everything about this (except maybe the microphones). Young Individuals not only participating in the democratic process but dedicating their time and energy to put events together SO THAT OTHERS CAN PARTICIPATE...A+ Obviously they did a great job you can tell by the people who are trying to throw shade. Sus? LOL. Bruh, Ryan Knapp now picking on kids - not a good look bro. Low key cringey.

Very strange for an outside group to not coordinate a debate with each of the candidates or the town committee before announcing... especially when the other candidate was already promoting it. Sus. The DTC distanced themselves from this event in a statement. This group didn’t even have the community center reserved when they had announced it would be there. Probably worth mentioning in the story
