Time to think about getting ready for summer swimming so we wrote about indoor swimming pools to take lessons and to practice in in Hartford and Fairfield Counties. It's definitely time to start planning summer camps for the kids and we have a great Summer Camp Guide for anyone considering it in CT. This week is chock full of fun and we've got the lowdown. Besides Irish fun there are many other fun events in your area.
