On skipping a visit to the pump this weekend
Ah, how true it seems these days, doesn't it?
With Connecticut's average price of gas topping $4.32 a gallon this past Monday, it's been particularly pain-inducing lately to pull up to the gas station and fill 'er up. Ouch! So with the weather forecast calling for blue and sunny skies, this weekend is turning out to be an excellent time to take a staycation right here in Darien. Why drive up to the Cape, out to the Hamptons, or down to the Jersey Shore when we have so many fun activities going on in town over the next few days?!
The 3rd Annual Darien Days Carnival takes place at the Hindley School tonight and tomorrow night from 6pm-10pm, and again on Saturday from 4pm to 11pm.
Also on Friday evening, Darien Library kicks off its Summer Film Series with a 7:30pm showing of The Bucket List.
Friday and Saturday, it's the Darien Sidewalk Sale, with Family Fun Day events going on from 9am-5pm on both days.
This weekend also marks the first of three weekends in a row that the Darien Players will perform Cry Havoc at the DCA. Check out the full list of dates and times here.
For even more choices while planning your staycation, visit Connecticut's guide to Fairfield County and find information on local parks, beaches, water and land adventures, museums, historical attractions, arts centers, shopping, and dining.
And let the pump give us all a much-needed break.

Does anyone care about The Rings End Bridge being closed to the public. Somethings fishy in Darien!

According to the article in this week's Darien News-Review, the state Department of Environmental Protection has put a fishing ban within 100 feet of the Gorham's Pond Dam where a fish ladder has just been installed. The area around the dam was closed for repairs but has since reopened.

The situation with the gas, the high prices and everything else, is turning out to be really tedious. But people are not drowning in it, instead they're looking up to choices and alternatives that help them keep on the track without suffering too much the consequences.
