Purchase Stop & Shop shopping bags in September

The Stop & Shop grocery store in Granby has selected the Citizens for a Better Granby (publishers of the Drummer) to receive a portion of the sales of its Community Bags during September. The $2.50 reusable bags both benefit the environment by reducing the use of paper and plastic bags and yield a $1 donation to CBG. That sounds like a WIN-WIN to us!

Quilters Guild to hold show

The Farmington Valley Quilters Guild will present From Fabric to Fabulous on Sept. 20 and 21 at the Kingswood Oxford School’s Hoffman Field House on Trout Brook Drive in West Hartford.

His photos look like paintings!

By the time you read this, Chris Fisher’s photography exhibit at Lost Acres Vineyard will probably be closed, so you will have to go to the libraries in East Granby (September), Simsbury (October) or Avon (November) to experience it, but it will be well worth the drive. He started taking pictures on a seven-week summer Eurail trip in 1971 and hasn’t stopped since!

Nine models graced the runway at June fashion show

On June 4, more than 60 women were treated to a fashion show during the Granby Women’s Breakfast gathering. The program was designed cooperatively by the group’s program committee and Linda Linard-Ligsukis, owner of Designer Consigner, a consignment boutique in Southwick.
