Submitted by Sherry Pardy on
After this long, harsh, Connecticut winter, what a relief to glimpse the calendar and see Memorial Day, the unofficial kickoff of summer, finally right around the corner! While you might feel like it crept up on you, and you're wondering what to do with the kiddos over the three day holiday, never fear! We here at Mommy Poppins have the state covered and have a round up of all the best parades, events, festivals and family fun for Memorial Day 2014!
