A small crowd gathered on the bank of the Farmington River in East Granby on Monday morning to celebrate the start of a project to remove the Spoonville Dam.
Residents and town officials raised their glasses of sparkling cider to a toast made by Farmington River Watershed Association Executive Director Eileen Fielding before crews began demolition of the 128-foot concrete dam.
