The 2021 Hearts of Hope-Newtown chapter commemorative hearts were formally unveiled on October 1. There are two designs this year, both honoring The Newtown Bee.
Read what keyboard genius Rick Wakeman had to say in an exclusive Newtown Bee interview ahead of his October 30 performance at The Ridgefield Playhouse.
For the first time in its history, Edmond Town Hall is planning screenings of a musical comedy horror cult classic that was not exactly a box office smash upon its initial release 46 years ago.
In this series, The Newtown Bee is consulting animal experts to explain how to support these animals safely from afar and what to do if you encounter them face-to-face.
"Forty Days and Forty Nights: A Novel of the Mississippi River" was published last week, and reviews are already very positive for the riveting read by Newtown residents Amber Edwards and Justin Scott.
Jeff, look no further than our own first selectman. “Brews with Bruce” at the Senior Center is included with membership, but according to the Bee’s own reporting, everyone else must purchase a day pass to attend.
Apparently, paying taxes gets you a town government, but having a conversation with its leader requires an admission upgrade.

What I will always remember about Mitch is he is the only politician in Newtown that I saw coming to and standing up against the proposed Truck Depot at Exit 9. As bad as traffic is in Newtown now and with the constant push for housing development in Newtown, traffic has become a point a real negative for Newtown. Now imagine a Truck Depot in town on top of it. Thanks Mitch for standing with the Newtown residents to stop that insanity
