Celebrating Mary Hawley With Free Ice Cream

Published: Sep 05, 2024 4:00 pm

On August 22, hundreds of Newtown residents gathered to celebrate Mary Hawley’s birthday on the patio of the C.H. Booth Library. At least 230 people came for free Ferris Acres Creamery ice cream, but the representatives from Ferris ran out of ice cream. It was estimated that 20 more people came after the ice cream ran dry.

The ice cream social is an annual celebration for Mary Hawley’s birthday in recognition of her dedication to Newtown. Hawley bought the property that the library sits on and left funds in her will to support the library for years to come.

Several people waited in line for ice cream on the patio of the C.H. Booth Library. The line wrapped around the side of the building.

Pretty sure that since Bruce isn't a registered Republican this can't be defined as a threat of violence.

A Fair Question

Wow, if this doesn't clarify the new policy as a witch hunt I don't know what will. "Pretty soon we will know who you are". In some venues that could be seen as threatening. Remember back when Bruce was running for office and he was all about being "non-partisan".

I agree, being our state rep means more than publicity shots, it means getting deeply involved in serving our interest. Rob is a democrat who can get things done in Hartford. Its time Newtown had a representative who can advance our interest in Hartford. Its time for us to be represented from the inside out, not from the minority party.

Rob Blanchard For State Senate

@voter: But isn't that how our entire country works? A candidate receives a majority of votes, and then they set the policy. I don't want to fund our bloated military, but the politicians who won their elections will bankroll the DOD regardless of my individual wishes. I'm not talking about anything radical here - these are the most fundamental building blocks of a republic.

We Can’t Have Our Climate Cake And Eat It Too

Its pretty silly to me that we keep comparing 4 year terms with Trump and Biden. And then suggesting one would do better than the other. We can examine what these two men might do going forward and what the economic forecast project, but we don't get a do over on past actions. The fact is the Senate and Congress have more influence than the President, and both bodies haven't gotten much done over the last decade or two. Term limits might be a good idea.

A Vote For Trump Is A Vote For Runaway Inflation
