At The Newtown Bee, we are working on articles every week for the education and enjoyment of our readers, and subscribers get the first — and sometimes exclusive — look at stories in print.

Among the items our editors and reporters are working on for the print edition of August 27, 2021, is an update on this year’s Newtown Arts Festival, returning to Fairfield Hills in just a few weeks; a look at an annual program that puts library cards into the hands of students and educators ahead of each academic year; and a reminder that election season is approaching.

Also, Sports Editor Andy Hutchison expects to share the fall athletics schedule and a feature on a youth track standout.

One reporter is deciphering the 2020 US Census results and what they mean for Newtown, and we will also have a look back at the storm that almost wasn’t. Henri did not bring much more than rain and a few gusts to our area, but there was plenty of pre-storm preparation.

Writers are also putting their finishing touches on features for the Fall 2021 Home & Garden special section, which will be published in mid-September.

There are plenty of stories and breaking news posted to newtownbee.com, but you’ll find full coverage in our print edition. For complete news about Newtown, join our subscribers in being in the know.
