Sorry for the lack of updates – lots to do on a busy, and quite beautiful, Labor Day weekend, some pictures of which (Holy Ghost Feast at the Portuguese Holy Ghost Society, the reopening of La Grua's shop) will be posted in Scene and Herd on the Intelligencer.
Anyway, lots of things coming up in and around the Borough this fall. For instance, this Saturday is the annual Sergio Franchi Concert, which starts at 3 pm and goes till 6 pm, with food and beverages available on the estate. Mrs Eva Franchi will present the 2007 Sergio Franchi Scholarships and the performers will be accompanied by a 32-piece orchestra. Tickets are $50 and must be ordered in advance.
Tomorrow, Friday, 7 September, at 5.30 pm, yachtsman Iain McAllister discusses the restoration project of the 36-foot cutter Peggy Bawn and classic yacht racing at the Stonington Harbor Yacht Club, 9 Stonington Commons, 32 Water St., Stonington. Call 860-535-0680 for information and reservations.
Stonington Runners, take note of the following press release I just received:
"There is a new website for walkers and joggers that showcases scenic running routes in the area. The site, Jog New London County, features beautiful photos, custom-drawn maps, helpful descriptions and important statistics like mileage, elevation and current weather for each route.
The routes take runners through parks, boardwalks, and quiet residential areas and offer a range of picturesque views including lakes, beaches, woods, and farmlands.
Aside from jogging routes, the site also provides a calendar of upcoming area races, running articles, and a gift shop with jogging-related t-shirts, bags, and cards.
For more information, visit www.JogNewLondon.com."
Finally, we'd like to wish Borough resident (and our great neighbor) Jim Boylan a speedy recovery from a little "incident" he had last weekend, which involved hospitals and helicopters and ORs and which, we happily note, ended up well. We hear he's already back to pro bono editing for the Stonington Historical Society, of which he was of course a past president.
