Learn about bats, spiders and owls! Have some fresh-squeezed apple cider and freshly-made donuts, then visit the Friends Nature Shop to buy some creepy and crawly nature-related gifts. 

You can try your hand at pumpkin carving, get your face painted, and make some creative crafts. 
All proceeds will benefit the Nature Center’s playground project efforts.

Congrats to all the winners at harvest fest in Ansonia

Scarecrows come in all shapes and sizes
Second-place winner of the scarecrow contest was Seccombe's Men's Shop. 
The scarecrow, "Clark Kent," is pictured here with his friends, Ansonia residents David Perez, left, and Joe Calderon. The two work at Seccombe's, 171 Main St.


ANSONIA - The Cultural Commission's 11th annual Harvest Festival Saturday may have been held under cloudy skies, but gloomy weather didn't dampen scarecrow spirits.

Valley Arts Council President Rich DiCarlo judged the contest entries created by Main Street merchants. 

My Sister's Place thrift store won first place with the multi-scarecrow creation below:


Ansonia resident Christine Boulay, left, and her daughter, Elsa Boulay created 'The Village People.' 
River Valley Baptist Church gained third-place honors with its pajama-clad Teddy bear scarecrow. The entry was called "Bedtime is Bible time."



Kids of all ages enjoyed The Roaming Railroad rides up and down Main Street.

Full of energy!

The stage set up in front of City Hall. It was one of two stages on Main Street.
