Good morning Simsbury! Today is Friday, April 20, 2012 and there are 255 days left in the year.

Looking for a fun activity for the kids? Swing by the Simsbury Public Library for Terrific Two's storytime. The library is hosting a special storytime for two year-olds and their parents or caregivers. Read stories, sing songs, play games, and enjoy some music this morning in the Discovery Room at the library. This event is free and you can just drop-in. For more information call 658-7663.

If you've been craving some culture, make plans to go to the United Methodist Church this weekend and catch a play. The Theatre Guild of Simsbury is presenting 'Our Town,' the pulitzer prize winning play by Thornton Wilder. The play will be performed on April 20, 21, 28 at 8 p.m. with matinee shows on April 22 and 28 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the door or online at www.theatreguildsimsbury.org.

Local band Eight to the Bar will also be entertaining the night crowd tonight at the Maple Tree Cafe. If you're looking to squeeze in some dancing and possibly a few drinks then head to downtown Simsbury for a night of "mostly Motown."
