» Barn Notes

Thanks to you, our customers, this year’s Labor Day Tent Sale was a huge success….

Hammertown Barn was rocking and rolling this past weekend. By the end of our first day, Saturday, we were looking for more furniture for the tent!

I had a sneaking feeling that Joan would respond as strongly as I did when I saw one of the latest videos from the Durham, North Carolina group, The Coalition to Unchain Dogs. Every Sunday a group of volunteers heads to another home to build a fence for a dog or dogs that have been chained or tied outside.

This past Sunday we took our own advice and celebrated Joan’s birthday by inviting her on a morning hike up Stissing Mountain… what she didn’t know was that there were 8 more friends waiting to surprise her at the base of the trail (including a few with fur).

Well it’s certainly not a bad thing this weekend!!

TriArts Theatre in Sharon CT is presenting their 9th Annual “Diva-themed” production at the Sharon Playhouse this weekend (August 22, 23 & 24). The Diva shows have become a favorite end-of-the-season event, starting with the first incarnation, “Night of 100 Divas” in 2000. Since then, various themes have been used such as “Divas Do Nashville”, “Divas Do Broadway”, “Divas Do Hollywood”…featuring popular songs from different styles and eras of music. This year, however, things are a little different and a lot more exciting for TriArts — this year’s show is “Divas Do Berkeley”. Who’s Berkeley you ask?
