Dinner on the Farm, Tour Simsbury, and Local Art

Good morning Simsbury! Today is Thursday, July 19, 2012 and there are 165 days left in the year.

Today's Weather: Patchy fog is expected this morning, according to the National Weather Service daily forecast. Otherwise it will be mostly sunny with a high near 87 degrees.

Tonight: Partly cloudy skies with an overnight low around 61 degrees.

If you haven't taken the cell phone tour of downtown Simsbury, it might be the perfect excuse to get out in between the showers today. The one-hour tour is narrated by First Selectwoman Mary A. Glassman and will lead you to 11 local sites known for their architectural or historic value. To take the tour dial 860-323-9029 and start walking. The program is offered through the Simsbury Senior Center and is completely free- with the exception of your cell phone bill.

Local art enthusiasts should be sure to check out the Avon Arts Association Member Exhibit on display at the Avon Free Public Library. The free exhibit will be on display until the end of July.

Join the Community Farm of Simsbury and the Iron Frog Tavern chefs for Dinner on the Farm tonight. Enjoy a farm-to-table dinner made with in-season produce grown at the farm. Proceeds from the event will benefit the charitable mission of the Community Farm of Simsbury. Ticket prices are to be determined.
