Around our town

Put your jokesters to the test on Wednesday, Aug. 17. Kids Comedy Club and Open Mic Night at the Fairfield Public Library is a fun opportunity to learn and try joke-telling skills. Comedian “Miss B”, Dottie Bengoian leads the show for 2nd-5th graders. Participants bring a short skit, joke or riddle (a maximum of 3 minutes) then join the audience to listen and laugh. The program will be held at the Main Library, 1080 Old Post Road at 7 p.m. The 3rd Annual Easton Farm Tour 2011 takes place on Saturday, Aug. 13, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This celebration of Easton, a local and sustainable farming community within Fairfield County, is a self-guided tour of Easton farms. This free event begins at the Easton Firehouse Green, One Center Road, Easton, Connecticut. Here visitors pick up a copy of the Easton Garden Club’s Farm Map — “Easton is a Farmers Market”, which will serve as the road map and pass to events scheduled at participating farms. Fun for the whole family! Come and enjoy the many farming delights that Easton has to offer and learn where your food comes from. Enjoy pony rides, hayrides, petting zoo, food tastings, and picking veggies and fruit fresh from the farm. We have some added surprises this year, including a premiere of the recently released film on Easton Farming. Citizens for Easton (CFE), event sponsor, will be joined on the green by other Easton organizations, including the Historical Society of Easton, The Easton Garden Club, The Aspetuck Land Trust, UCONN Master Gardeners, The Nature Conservancy, Easton Agricultural Commission, Easton Library, Easton Community Center and others. We will have food and entertainment on the green. Skinny Pines - an Easton-based purveyor of wood-fired pizzas - will be on site with their mobile wood-fired oven selling pizza. The Easton Banjo Society -- a true Easton institution which has been playing at events in town for fifty years will be performing live music.
