We walked around for an hour and picked up an eclectic group of stuff -a chili soup mix, a cinnamon chocolate chip bread, a salted caramel coconut beer blondie, a salted pretzel knot, two Asian dumplings, and a cup of chocolate Italian ices. It was outstanding, simply outstanding.

But when your wife and kids ask you to do something, you normally do. This fair was in Ansonia.Yesterday was the last day, I'm not sure how often they do this fair, I think it's once or twice a year. Lots of activities for the kids, lots of vendors, and my favorite the food trucks. It were too. We ended up getting from the melting truck. Deliciously made grilled cheeses with lots of options. They put a nice cheese crust on top to give it a little extra flavor. They were also multiple different stage shows from magic, to fighting, to singing. Many people were dressed up as fantasy characters or in medieval garments. Others like myself or just dress to be comfortable. Either way it was a good time. Looking forward to seeing what other Renaissance Festival's are like.

Although the band was integrated well, the Lead vocalist and lead guitar were both clear standouts. Their pictures and video clips on their website do not do them justice. To Anyone that enjoys Neil Young's music or even the genre (for lack of a better word) treat yourself to a couple of hours with this band. Lead singer made a brief but heartfelt comment about his late veteran Dad. It was well received by the crowd. that says something about him as well as the crowd. Enhancing the evening even more.

ORIGIN: Founded by Woodbury native James Wargo and opened in…read more2020, Hidden Gem Orchard is aptly named. LOCATION: Wargo leases land that is part of the Southbury Training School property, a campus that was once a fully self-sustaining community. I first came upon it on in 2020 on my way to the nearest highway, and was surprised to find activity in an otherwise abandoned-looking area of the vast property -- at height of a pandemic no less! The orchard is located behind some agricultural structures that reflect a more active past, and invite some interesting photo opportunities. CONCEPT: The founder of Hidden Gem Orchard, James Wargo, has expertise in soil management and crop production. Wargo works closely with esteemed Cornell University pomologist, Ian Merwin, PhD, to grow both new and antique varieties of apples. EXPERIENCE: As a result, a visit is like opening a treasure chest of uncommonly seen and tasted apples, such as Esopus Spitzenberg, a favorite of Thomas Jefferson. A visit to the orchard is tranquil, not a spectacle with crowds, music, and lines. The focus is growing and sharing a love for apples, rather than weekend entertainment. Pick your own in the orchard, or pick up at farm stand. TIP: "Imperfect" apples are available at discounted price. Look out for apple pastries prepared by local baker, Horsehill Provisions.

Love this little farm stand!! We were taking a back road route to New Milford and happened upon…read moreHidden Gem Orchard. They had so many varieties of apples - many we had never heard of. They had signs with descriptions of every apple, incliding best uses (eating, baking, etc). We got a ton of different apples to try. We will definitely go back anytime we are in the vicinity, now that we know about it! Check it out if you love apples!

It was such a great experience from the hospitable hosts to the complimentary drinks and popcorn to the cozy seating in their little theatre room.

Loved how cute and quaint it was and that they have the option to rent the rooms for your next special event and do your own screenings. Pretty epic

We got the chicken lollipop appetizer with the pineapple and we all got cheesesteak sandwiches. Food was good, just not memorable.

The best part should be the dinner! Our waiter was excellent though, and drinks were good.

We went to our first show at Richter yesterday and throughly enjoyed it. I'm writing a review…read morebecause there isn't a ton of information about this place everywhere. So basically , make sure you come a little before 7. There will be a line that you will wait on until 7 in the driveway of the white building.They are very curtious and have a shuttle that will help people from the parking lot to the drive way but, the walk is easy even if you are in a wheel chair. After waiting for awhile you will be let in THEN it's a free for all.Seating opportunities aren't the greatest so it's better to get there early so you can get right up front. They do provide chairs if needed on limited supply but we brought our own. Make sure they are taller chairs not beach chairs, if behind someone you won't be able to see.Next, BRING FOOD!The hour before goes quickly if you bring a fun picnic for friends and family.There is also some fundraising going on during the show, and a concession for any snacks and drinks you may have forgotten.Reasonably priced.I would also recommend a blanket and BUG SPRAY! I was fine under my blanket but many people brought candles and spray to help shoo the bugs away. Overall , richter is a great outdoor space to enjoy a musical and beautiful night. The tickets are pretty reasonable, just wish they included a bit more because for 20$ you're really just picking a spot on the grass BUT this didn't bother us much.

Wow! Saw Into the Woods last night and loved it! The cast did a superb job (and no, I'm not a cast…read moremember or even slightly related to one.) The singing and dancing was outstanding, as was the orchestra. It was the fifth show I've seen there and probably the best so far. If you've never been, it's an outdoor community theater right next to a golf course. You have to bring your own chair (and seriously, don't forget the bug spray.) It's a lot of fun though.
