Newtown Earth Day 2012

Newtown celebrates Mother Earth Day!

It was that time of year again, the Newtown’s Fifth Annual Earth Day Festival was on Saturday, April 28th with no clouds in sight.

This was a full-day of family fun and learning, the festival was designed to highlight Newtown’s abundant natural resources and help our community become a bit “greener”. From kids’ activities, live music, and tasty food to an environmental maze, litter pick-up, and a vendor fair, it was a memorable day for the whole community.

One of the vendors that were present was the Einsteine Monkeys. The Einstein Monkeys are a Division 1 Odyssey of the Mind team from Reed Intermediate School in Newtown,CT. The team recently competed in the Connecticut regional tournament and won the right to compete at the World Tournament at Iowa State Univeristy in Ames, Iowa May 23rd to May 27th. They need the communties help in donations so they can make it to Iowa!

G, apparently you did not watch the Benghazi hearings recently on CSpan. I did, and the whistleRead More blowers made it abundantly clear that there was never any question that it was an "ATTACK" by terrorists, and had NOTHING to do with a "demonstration" over a lame video, as lied about by S. Rice, Obama and HRC! They concocted this story because the truth, that Al Qaeda is NOT "defeated" or neutralized, as O claimed, would have been inconvenient for the election. It is utterly reprehensible for a president to heartlessly leave our men behind, to send NO aid or support, if only to get the bodies out--and under other presidents and the military as it has always been--you "DON'T leave your fellow soldiers (or diplomats) behind!" O gave (or assented to) TWO orders to "Stand Down" and NOT fly in with aid from Tripoli or Sicily! And G, what is your opinion of a president who condones the TARGETING of conservatives, with thuggish, illegal tactics of INTIMIDATION by the IRS!?

Really? Your "blog" is a collection of "cut-and-pastes" from some otherRead More right-wing source? And you expect to be taken seriously? Time to grow up and form your own opinion, MAC. Have a nice weekend.
