3rd Thursday Street Fest at Willimantic

Willimantic is really a lovely town. I am so glad that we we were sent here. This town really has everything. Walmart, Family store, Home depot, Kohl's, Food coop and just everything really and the most helpful person I have met - Mr Paul who helps Foreign students with his truck.

Just when I thought that it really has everything, I came to know about the https://www.facebook.com/3rdThursdayStreetFest and got a chance to visit it too. I have never seen so many people in one place in Willimantic, not even in Walmart ;) 

Starting May, The third thursday of every month becomes the most eventful day till Sept.

Can you see the depth in the photo? There were soo many stalls, It took us almost an hour to walk and see it all. This site will give you more info if you like - http://willimanticstreetfest.com/ We saw it all, the food vendors, the free books, the promotions, the petitions, the lovely jewellery stores...everything. You can see the clicks on their facebook page.

There is one thing that I couldn't help not click. This!

 

There is one thing I personally didn't like. I was troubled my the loud noise of the bands but I am sure that it is just me who felt like that.

 Anyway, It is lovely to have such a beautiful community activity in the town and to meet some of the people.

Victorian day at Willimantic

Willimantic has had the most happening weekend. We had a Victorian theme happening, http://www.victorianwillimantic.org/ and though my hubby couldn't take me around on Saturday we did make it a point to visit a Victorian garden hosted by Master Gardener Pamela Wright and the very humble Jim Wright. Below is a pic of their house and a part of their lovely garden.

They are lucky to have a place close to the Willimantic river. Words will spoil the beauty of the experience.

Like any Victorian garden, theirs had wrought iron patio furniture, garden accessories and other garden decor.

and a beautiful and well maintained patio.

 We spent a few precious minutes at the garden.

and we also got an opportunity to click a pic with the lovely Pam who showed us around and gave us information on the victorian garden with so much love. It was so nice to see her in the complete Victorian dress

Until next time,
