Compo Marina Frozen Over
The below freezing temperatures and wind chill froze the water surrounding J, K, and L docks this morning at the Ned Dimes Marina at Compo Beach. This comes exactly one week after all vessels were mandated to leave their berths for the season - saving them from today’s icey situation.

According to a Press Release from the Westport Farmers’ Market:
“Westport, Conn.—The Westport Winter Farmers’ Market will hold a special holiday Artist Market from 10 to 2 on Tuesday, December 15 at Gilbertie’s Herbs & Garden Center (7 Sylvan Lane, Westport). The market, which will showcase area makers, will be separate from the winter farmers’ market held every Thursday through March at Gilbertie’s.

The Artist Market will take place in three open-air greenhouses at Gilbertie’s and will feature a wide array of one-of-a-kind handcrafted gift ideas. Artists will be spread out among the greenhouses, and food trucks – including Bubble and Brew and On the Fly from Taproot Restaurant – will supply hot and cold drinks and grab-and-go eats.
Make Tuesday, December 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Gilbertie’s your destination for one-stop holiday shopping while supporting your local community of artists and friends.”
