One lucky visitor to this yearâs Christmas in the Country Craft Fair â the annual holiday event hosted by St Rose School Home & School Association â will be able to add some elegance to their New Yearâs celebration.

Waterford Crystal has donated a Millennium Champagne Bucket and two etched Year 2000 champagne flutes for the association to raffle. Tickets will be sold during the craft fair, which will be held the weekend of Friday through Sunday, November 12-14. Tickets are $1 each, and the drawing will be held the Sunday afternoon of the fair, at 3 pm.

The fair will also feature fine arts and crafts from an array of professional vendors. There will be hot food and fresh baked goods also available. Christmas in the Country will be presented in St Rose Church Hall, 40 Church Hill Road in Newtown.

The raffle will also be offering as the second place prize a Longaberger Collectorâs Club Family Picnic Basket.

Fair hours will be Friday, November 12, from 6 to 10 pm; Saturday, November 13, 10 am to 4 pm; and Sunday, November 14, 1 to 4 pm.

Holly Kocet is pushing a false narrative. The facts simply don't bear out any negative impact to the traffic on Mt Pleasant Road. Saying it does , does not make it true. The road handles in excess of 40,000 trip a day. a couple hundred form Castle Hill is negatable.

A Development Must Be A Good Fit

Yea. great decision and it will add to the quality of comments posted.

Finally, The Time Has Come(And Some Reminders)

Not approving a development that has "checked" all the boxes because the NIMBY mob doesn't like it is wrong.

The town historically has strong collaboration with developers, but the primary obstacle arises from community opposition exerting undue influence on the zoning department. This "NIMBY" pressure often leads to project rejections that exceed the department's actual jurisdiction or authority. Consequently, developers face a limited set of options: either engage in expensive legal battles or leverage the Connecticut Affordable Housing Land Use Appeals Procedure (CGS § 8-30g) as a recourse.

Discusses Moratorium

You are correct, Bruce. I know how hard these plans are to put together, but I still believe that we can have more definitive and measurable goals. I know there are a number of units coming online, and the community truly needs them. If only we can move the development of affordable housing to more of a partnership between the community and the developers than the adversarial tug-of-war it seems to be now, that would be good progress.
