Valley Shakespeare Festival to perform this week at Veterans Memorial Park

SHELTON - Thirteen years of FREE Shakespeare in the Park - this year under the stars in Veterans Memorial Park!

There will be 4 performances held at 7 p.m. Thursday-July 13.

Love, laughter, and a whole lot of mistaken identities collide in As You Like It. From wrestling matches to cross-dressing escapades, Shakespeare’s musical rom-com proves the Forest of Arden is the ultimate place for finding romance—and yourself!

We can provide chairs in the park (limited), please find that information here -- https://tinyurl.com/52fc8xdz

Derby-Shelton Rotary Club to hold annual Flags for Heroes event

SHELTON - In 2022, the Derby-Shelton Rotary Club held the first Flags for Heroes event at Veterans Memorial Park. 

The event is the brainchild of former President Linda Holmes-Hannon who first saw the event held in another community and brought it to the attention of the Club.  

The event is meant to honor heroes from all walks of life and involves placing commemorative flags with the names of the heroes where the event is held. 

In 2022, that was only at Veterans Memorial Park in Shelton. In 2023, the event expanded to include Derby’s historically significant Birmingham Green.

From May 24 to June 19 more than 300 flags with personalized medallions will be flown on the Derby Green and Veterans Memorial Park.

For information and registration for 2025, go to https://heroflag.org/
