I’m continue to get out & about the Senate District. Recently, I participated in a ceremony at the June Norcross Webster Scout Reservation to dedicate part of Route 44 in Eastford and Ashford in honor of Lt. Col. Thomas Knowlton, a local Revolutionary War hero from Ashford who commanded the Knowlton Rangers. On July 4th, I was at the East Woodstock Congregational Church Jamboree.

See my recent posts about other events I attended the past several weeks. More posts upcoming.
