Tis the season at Paley’s Farm Market!
Local Sports Venues Continue To Raise Money For Charity
About a mile off Kennedy Drive in Torrington is perhaps the best-kept secret around. Every Sunday from spring through the end of October the Foothills BMX complex is a beehive of activity as youngsters swarm the 1/5 mile track to compete in BMX racing.

This past Sunday, over 150 kids registered to take part in a BMX event to raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Upcoming fundraisers include high school scholarships and the McCall Center for Behavioral Health.

Foothills BMX is just one of the hundreds of venues raising money for over 350 area non-profits through sports-related fundraisers. You can find them at sportingAcause.com.
DIVINE WINE
LOCAL VINEYARDS: LIBATIONS FOR EVERY OCCASION
by JOSEPH MONTEBELLO
For decades when wine and wineries were discussed, thoughts turned to Italy and France, Sonoma County and Napa Valley. But the northern part of the country—Connecticut, the Berkshires, and Dutchess County—offer a plethora of wineries as well. The United States has become the largest single consumer of wine on the planet thanks to the success of so many of its vineyards.

More good weather allowed the Salisbury Rotary Club to again meet outside, with social distancing, on the lawn of Club President Peter Fitting’s Salisbury home for its 9/15 meeting. Discussion continued on needing to raise money in order for the club to continue doing its “good works” locally & globally.
