The overgrown lot at 37 Hartford Ave. has been the focus of the Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission since July 2023, when New York-based Vessel RE Holdings, LLC, filed a permit application for a four-story, 48-unit apartment building.

In Granby, the American Legion Pancake Breakfast is synonymous with the opening day of fishing season—a maple-syrup-covered tradition anglers and breakfast lovers anticipate all year. On the second Saturday of April, you’ll find Jim Hall at the grill flipping the hundreds of pancakes served at the main fundraiser for the Shannon-Shattuck Post 182.
In June 2003, Jim Hall (pictured above) was given much-deserved recognition for his service to American Legion Post 182 and for organizing Granby’s Memorial Day parade for 33 years. This year we thank Jim for his 51st Memorial Day parade and celebration in a year that desperately needs a drum-thumping, fife-playing outing on the Green.
1986 was a year of a grand celebration of Granby, both with a look back at the town’s 200-year history and a look forward to a future filled with promise.
As the Drummer celebrates its 50th year of publication, the world has spun out of control
Memorial Day, as we traditionally celebrate it, was cancelled by COVID-19. This year the pomp and circumstance, parade, community picnic and concerts on the green were absent but our gratitude for those who served and gave their lives has not diminished.
