Fun and Free Things to Do with Kids this Weekend in CT: Norwalk Oyster Festival, Big Consignment Sales, 9/11 Remembrance
Doesn't it feel like summer was just kicked out the door by Autumn? Now that the kids are back to school we have a healthy lunch post for you. There's a chill in the air and soccer season is upon us. Feels like Fall to me! One of the best things about Fall is apple and pumpkin picking and we have the start of a few posts about where to go. As we all know, the 9/11 10th year anniversary is this Sunday and we've written about places to commemorate with your family. Speaking of family, it's also Grandparent's Day so don't forget them on Sunday too.
We are happy to have another GIVEAWAY for our CT readers: 4 adult tickets (kids are free) to the Norwalk Boat Show that starts 9/22. Subscribe to our newsletter and leave a comment here or on our Facebook page to enter the drawing.
This weekend you can bring your pet or just meet and watch them at the Applause for Paws event in Shelton. You can also see cute and cuddly farm animals at the Cornwall Agricultural Fair. If eating is more your thing you won't want to miss the Norwalk Oyster Festival or the Taste of Danbury. Both have plenty of fun planned for you and the kids. Read more to see our top picks for the weekend.
