Five Things to Know Today

Candidates Q&A, Halloween Haunted Trail, Athlete of the Week, Montville Tonight

  1. A few afternoon clouds today High near 50F. Winds NNW at 10 to 15 mph. Tonight partly cloudy. Low near 35F.
  2. The Halloween Haunted Trail to benefit the Lauren Candler Scholarship Fund at LHS is tonight and Saturday from 6-9 p.m. at 6 Linden Lane (off of Saw Mill Drive). Walk a haunted trail in the woods... with singing groups, a poetry reading, a Mad Scientist, baked goods, a bonfire… What more could you want? And for a great cause.
  3. Our candidate Q&As continue today. On Thusday we featured Naomi Rodriguez and Mike France.  
  4. Colonels football standout Mike Manwaring is featured today as the Patch Athlete of the Week. He not only is an incredible athlete, he also is a nice, polite, studious kid and a credit to Ledyard High School.
  5. Speaking of football, tonight Montville comes to town. The 4-2 Indians have dropped two straight, including a loss last week to NFA and a shocker the week before to Griswold. They will be anxious to get back to on the winning track, so Ledyard will have to be sharp. Still no bleachers, so bring a chair and a blanket. Should be a great game.
