Main Street USA, our City’s version of a New Britain Fair, was held Saturday with quite a large number of people in attendance. I took the shuttle to the park. The shuttle busses were not filled when I went, but there was a lot of them.
This week we asked in our Facebook group what people liked and wanted to see in the future at the event. We had some good answers, but I always think bigger than most people. I want to see carnival rides and a big name band like “Foreigner” who is at the Durham Fair this year.
I’m not too sure about horse pulls, but some judged art and judged food would be a great addition. Maybe we could have a best kielbasa and pierogi contest, If this is our version of a fair, let’s make it big. I’m sure it will grow each year. I just get over anxious.
I’m definitely a dreamer. I guess that is how I came up with the Halloween Trick or Treat Safe Zone.
We are still seeking donations as well as raffle prizes for Halloween. I have more ideas to see it grow, but first we need enough funds to purchase candy. Contact me at 860-505-7612 if you can help. We are not close to our goal and have just over one month left.
If you see Maria Bernacki of Sir Speedy printing this week congratulate her. She won the Lion’s Club football pool this week. We had the same number of wins, but she guessed 40 points scored and I guessed 48. The number of points scored was 43. I was that close. See my picks for this week in the Sports Journal.
Move over Cremo, Alvarium is here. We have a new brewery coming to town. The three gentlemen doing it are really on top of things. This looks to be a great thing for the town. All residents should make a point of trying it, when it opens. I had a sample and it was fantastic. Go New Britain!
If you like our New Britain Halloween Trick or Treat Safe Zone group on Facebook, I give you updates as well as a few corny Halloween jokes I found on the Internet.
This week as my Joke of the week, here are a few.
“Why didn’t the skeleton go to the party? He had no-body to dance with!”
“How do you make a witch itch? Take away her W.”
“What does a hungry ghost want? Ice Cream!”
“What do you call a fat Jack-O-Lantern? A plumpkin.”
Yeah! I know I can do better.
Until next week laugh a little and keep reading New Britain’s #1 Most Trusted Newspaper!
