East End Hose Co. 3 in Derby to host annual gift delivery with Santa


Sharing scenes from holiday marketplace at Ansonia Armory


The Ansonia Cultural Commission held its third annual Holiday Marketplace Saturday at the Ansonia Armory. 

Vendors selling crafts, art work, baked goods, candles, jewelry, clothing, and more filled the armory space.

J'nae participates in the marketplace each year. She enjoys drawing, and creates crafts, including beaded and crocheted key fobs. 

Ansonia High School Global Scholars were selling candy apples they had made. 
They are raising funds for a trip to France and Italy. They said they will be holding fundraisers throughout the school year until April.


Eddy's Bake Shop from downtown Ansonia was there featuring delicious-looking cookies and pastries.

The Friends of the Ansonia Animal Shelter raffled off homemade wreaths to raise funds.

When I was driving this afternoon I had to pull over and take a photo of the sky. 
I'm always on the lookout for interesting cloud formations.

Huntington United Methodist Church to hold Christmas Outreach Market

Huntington United Methodist Church
SHELTON - Huntington United Methodist Church will hold a Christmas Outreach Market from 10 a.m.-noon today, Saturday. 
The church is at 338 Walnut Tree Hill Road.

"Reclaim the meaning of the holiday season and the joy of giving gifts that really matter! 
In honor of friends and relatives, you designate gifts such as food, medicine and shelter that bring hope to the world. Instead of the material items, you donate a designated $ amount for one of the several causes by Alternative Gifts International and in return, you receive a card you can give to a loved one as a gift. 
We also will have fair trade items for sale from SERRV and Beads for Life. 
Since 2005, over $30,000 has been raised in Alternative Gifts. Please do your part to help the program successful by supporting those in need."
