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 haven't taken the cell phone tour of downtown Simsbury, today would be the perfect day for a walk downtown. 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.

Get out and indulge in some culture today at the Ethel Walker School faculty-staff art show "Nature, Nurture, Or?" Exhibitors will display art work of parents, siblings, or children to demonstrate whether artistic ability is inherited, nurtured or inspired. The gallery is open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. from April 9-27.
