Collecting Donations for UConn’s Huskython
Nichole Alley of Fairfield and Grace Ozyck of New Haven, both UConn Juniors, were on Main Street this afternoon asking for donations to the 2020 UConn Huskython fundraiser - which benefits Connecticut Children’s. In addition to its network of students raising funds in the community, the state university typically hosts a full day dance fundraiser in February for the non-profit paediatric hospital. Last year Huskython raised over 1.5 million dollars to assist with the care of the young patients.

Holiday House Decoration Contest: Fairport Road Participates
This home on Fairport Road has attracted lots of attention with their shining light display. The home arranged the light show with its own radio station, 107.1 FM, so passersby can enjoy music and a show from their cars.
