Seymour Culture and Arts to hold 15th annual Trick or Treat Day

'Turnback Tuesday' visits home in downtown Derby

Turnback Tuesday visits the home of Thomas B & Sarah A. Hull DeForest, 23 Elizabeth St., Derby.

Thomas was employed at Shelton Iron & Brass Co. He passed in 1892, but Sarah continued to reside at their home until 1918. The home was razed and a commercial building took its place.

Starting in 1930, David Schpero, jeweler, occupied the space until 1972. This aerial view was taken from an 1898 map the Derby Public Library has on display in the Local History Room and the photo looking up Elizabeth Street is from an old postcard. Interesting to see how the City of Derby built up around this home (red arrows.)

Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.

Huge thanks goes to Rose's Family Restaurant in Oxford for a beautiful evening

Last Thursday the wonderful folks at Rose's Family Restaurant in Oxford honored breast cancer survivors who had registered for Saturday's Pounding the Pavement for Pink 5K.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

A friend and I attended the dinner and were overwhelmed by the family's generosity and thoughtfulness.

We enjoyed a delicious buffet and we all took home a pink rose.

I encourage my local friends to support Rose's! The restaurant has been a long-time supporter of Seymour Pink, a community's fight against breast cancer, and it's time to support them.
