Hundreds Join Bluefish Tournament as a 17 Pounder Tops the List for $25k Prize

After hundreds joined in on the Long Island Sound Bluefish Tournament this weekend, Joseph Gallo pulled up this 17.27lb blue this afternoon that topped the charts as he weighed in at Fisherman’s Paradise in Milford. The grand prize for the tournament is $25,000, with dozens of Westporters heading onto the Sound today for their chance at the cash after yesterday’s small craft advisory forced many boats to remain at port.

Carleigh Welsh: Supporting Decades of Levitt Pavilion Shows

Carleigh Welsh, the Levitt Pavilion’s Director of Development and Marketing, addresses the crowds ahead of Gunsmoke’s performance Saturday night. Welsh has been involved with the Levitt since she was a child, as her mother Freda continues to manage the venue as its Executive Director. With excitement and gratitude before every show and behind the scenes breakdown work long after the crowds have gone, the Welsh family and their staff at the Levitt have continued the tradition of live music for decades through renovations, demolitions, and now a pandemic.
