Artist at Work at MoCA’s Holiday Open House
This young artist was one of many who enjoyed the Museum of Contemporary Art, Westport’s Holiday Open House today at their 19 Newtown Turnpike campus. Attendees could sip hot chocolate while enjoying the center’s art exhibition, creating their own art, or while listening to performances by the Staples High School Orphenians and the Westport School of Music.

Poplar Plains Brook Responsible for Thursday’s Newtown Turnpike Flooding
The Poplar Plains Brook was responsible for the closure of Newtown Turnpike on Thursday, its waters breaching the roadway and flowing across it towards nearby wetlands. The brook passes underneath the roadway between Heron Lake Lane and Twin Oaks Lane, but a recent bout of rain saturated wetlands and smaller streams nearby, all of which apparently added to the brook’s volume. According to maps, the brook begins near Route 33 and terminates in Lees Pond, between Sylvan Road North and Woodside Avenue.
