Linett Park in Ansonia is open for sledding

Sharing information from the City of Ansonia Facebook page:

ANSONIA - Better late than never. It appears the season’s first sled riding will begin today (Saturday) and if the forecast holds true, will be even better Monday after Sunday night's 
snowstorm.
The Linett Park hillside was cleared, widened, and extended since November but the only thing lacking was snow. 

It’s an ideal setup for families, kids, adults, and open to all Valley residents.
The city may even start up the fire pit, and  invite to Lucky Dog food truck to appear.
Linett Park is located on Crowley Street off of North State Street. There is plenty of free parking and restroom facilities are available.
Mayor David S. Cassetti reopened the hill for sledding last winter with great fanfare and attendance throughout.

Ansonia woman invited to Black Wall Street New Haven event at school

The event seeks to inspire black youth to become entrepreneurs and small business owners. Vendors included educators, chefs, artists, authors, and more.
Stines, an entrepreneur, was invited to the event because she has invented Sober Touch Sensoring, a device that prevents drunk driving.
Small business owner Mosley sells Pure Inner G, a 100 percent natural hair, face, and body butter.
