Sunday, Barkhamsted, CT had it's first Earth Day Celebration.  It was held at People's Forest near the Farmington River.  It was a blustery day with occasional drizzle, but lots of people came to revere the lovely nature we are honored to enjoy in our town.

Fabulous Fish

My fish! Just finished. Off to Pia's Gallery soon!

The Farmington River Watershed Association is hosting a silent auction and gala on Friday, April 16. Life-size wooden fish will be individually decorated and auctioned off as part of a new outreach program. The folk-art fish will go on display starting in February in the new Pia Sjölin Design Gallery at the Shoppes at Farmington Valley in Canton. Bidders can hook one of their own during the silent auction, which runs from April 1-16, culminating with the gala the evening of April 16. For more information go to www.FRWA.org
