Summer Services Return to Compo Beach after 18 Months

After nearly two years, the Compo Beach summer services returned this morning as members of different local church parishes enjoy the morning air along the coastline. Each week is hosted by one of six churches in Westport or Weston, with sound equipment being donated by Saugatuck Congregational Church. The services are open to all, and are held each Sunday morning at 8:30 at the Compo Beach cannons. Beach chairs and flip flops not provided. Photo by Mark Mathias for The Westport Local Press.

“Lighting Up Main Street” Made a Reality by Donations and a Staples Junior

Sam Eigan, a rising Junior at Staples High School, wrestles string lights onto a street lamp this afternoon as part of the Westport Downtown Association’s “Lighting Up Main Street” beautification initiative. The project’s GoFundMe met its goal through local supporters, funding the lights and labor to get them in place. The lights could already be seen lighting up Church Lane, and tonight, the lower section of Main Street.
