Five Things to Know Today

Great Fair, Great Taste, Remembrance, Optimistic Couple

  1. Some clouds this morning will give way to mainly sunny skies for the afternoon. High 76F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph. Tonight partly cloudy. Low 63F.
  2. It was a great fair this weekend. The weather was perfect, attendance was good, there were pie-eating contests and rides livestock and redneck Olympics. And a chess tournament. And United Way. And a Miss Ledyard Fair pageant. See our photos and add your photos to them.
  3. Also great weekend for the Taste of Mystic. Lots of hot, savory food and great music performed by local bands. And ice cream.
  4. The Fair and Taste were fun, but they could not fully distract from the graver side of Sunday, the 10th anniversary of 9/11. The occasion was observed in communities through the region.
  5. I saw a wedding party taking pictures in downtown Mystic Sunday. Imagine getting married on the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Way to not let the terrorists win!
