Memoir Writing
Why Go: The Memoir Writing Group meets the first Saturday of every month. With the autumn season approaching, this is the perfect time to start discovering indoor activities, and memoir writing certainly qualifies. Open yourself up to the idea of putting your life on paper and have your story critiqued by fellow writers. Read the work of those in your community and help them tell their story in the best way possible.
When/Where: Saturday, September 3 at the Ridgefield Library. The group will meet in the history room from 10am-12pm.
Pricing: Free.
Reflect Upon and Respond to the Way Connecticut Handled 9/11
Why Go: Fairfield Museum will be presenting “Connecticut Responds,” which is a travel exhibition that was created by the Connecticut Historical Society. “Connecticut Responds” documented the way that Connecticut residents responded to the effects of 9/11.
When/Where: Saturday, September 3 at the Fairfield Museum and History Center at 10am.
Pricing: Free.
Georgetown Farmers Market
Why Go: If you lost some food during hurricane Irene’s stay in Connecticut, now is the time to head back to the Farmers Market and stock up on fresh fruits and veggies.
When/Where: Sunday, September 4 at 4 Old Mill Road in Redding Connecticut from 10am-2pm.
Pricing: Free admission.
Get Outside!
Why Go: Hurricane Irene has left us with a mess, but some very sunny skies. Safety permitting, your town’s parks are wonderful places to enjoy the sunny, warm weather before the fall sets in. Pack a picnic and bring your friends and pets to the park for some fresh air and friendly company. Check with your local parks and recreation department before heading out to make sure that your local parks are safe to enjoy your day in.
When/Where: Friday-Saturday during daytime hours. Merwin Meadows in Wilton, Ballard Park in Ridgefield and Topstone Park in Redding are a few nearby parks.
Pricing: Free.
