Westporter Mike Marett, with daughter Florence, accept their prize for best Porsche from the Small Car Company’s judges during this morning’s Air Cooled Car Show on Veteran’s Green. Marett’s 1990 Porsche 964 Carrera 2 received high-praise from the local gearheads as a Japanese model that was imported to the United States and kept in its high-performing state. Marett acquired the car two years ago and travels to shows across the country with it - most recently attending the Luftgekühlt festival in Indianapolis, Indiana that celebrates the Country’s “Luftgekühlt” cars - Porsche’s air-cooled models.

Sheryl Crowe Rocks The Levitt Pavilion

Rock & Roll returned to the Levitt Pavilion stage last night in a big way, with singer, musician, songwriter and actress Sheryl Crowe thrilling a fully sold-out capacity crowd for nearly two hours. The 9 time Grammy Award winner had the crowd on it's feet from the get-go, mixing her signature tracks like "If It Makes You Happy", "Soak Up The Sun", "My Favorite Mistake" and "All I Want To Do" with some tunes from her newest album "Threads", released in 2019.Her distinctive vocals enhanced her superb musicianship, with the star going from classical to electric guitar, to bass, to keyboards, even rounding it out with harmonicas. When the set closed, the pumped-up crowd was in no mood to leave, and Sheryl obliged with a four or five song encore, giving the audience more than their money's worth for this outstanding show.
