    Curtis Park is located on two sides of Rte 315 in Simsbury. The south side is all soccer fields…read morewhich the Simsbury Soccer Club uses extensively. I don't play soccer and I am way beyond the age of having kids involved in your soccer teams. So my review is the other side which does include a couple of soccer fields but also includes a large amount of grass fields and access to the Farmingon River . The main attraction though is access to the Farmington river. It is a convenient spot to launch a canoe or kayak. You can paddle downstream a mile or so before you get into the T'ville gorge and you can paddle upstream a long way through Simsbury. Depending on the river level the launch site can be steep which makes a handling a heavy fishing kayak somewhat difficult. There used to be some OK fishing in the vicinity of the launch area but due to increased activity ( lots of boats, dog swimming etc) it is not so great anymore. And my pet peeve.. litter continues to be an issue.

    This park has four soccer fields and a large picnic pavilion. Parking was spacious but on…read moredirt/gravel. When we went, it was early afternoon so there was not much shade. We were able to relax in the picnic pavilion for a bit, which was fully shaded on this hot day. The Farmington River is adjacent to this park. Many people use this location to access the river for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. Based on the Town of Simsbury's website, camping is also available. It's a nice place to play soccer, be a spectator, fish, and canoe/kayak. Based on the All Trails app, you can paddle on the river from Curtiss Park to the Old Drake Hill Flower bridge; can't wait to go back and try this route out!

    Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's…read moregot his own (Billie Holiday) There are over 4,000 Boys and Girls Clubs across the U.S. The very first one was founded here, in Hartford, CT in 1860. The Connecticut operation has locations spread across every corner of the state "to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens". Last night we attended a fundraising gala for Hartford's newest B&G Club, the beautiful South End Boys and Girls Club. It's located "in a neighborhood that needs it most" as explained by Guest Speaker Luke Bronin, Mayor of Hartford. The evening was titled "Great Futures and Open House, and the program started as soon as we stepped off the bus and were serenaded by a children's brass band. There were 300 guests in attendance and we really enjoyed touring the various rooms -one for music, one for dance, one for technology, one for art, etc. The highlight of the evening was a formal presentation hosted by ESPN's Sage Steele. Other speakers besides the Mayor were Claire Burns of Hartford Insurance (the lead sponsor), Sam Gray, CEO and President of the Boys and Girls Club of Hartford, and Ismael -Hartford's 2023 Youth of the Year. There was a massive auction of donated goods and services and food were provided by DORO Catering of West Hartford. It was a very inspirational evening and if you're looking for a good cause to support, you might want to check out the Boys and Girls Club.
