Snowstorm may spell sledding fun at Linett Park in Ansonia

Sharing post from the City of Ansonia Facebook page:

Cold weather fun found at Linett Park.

"With a predicted multi-day snowstorm looming, beginning Sunday thru Tuesday, families seeking some early winter outdoor fun may want to consider sledding at Winter Playground Linett Park.

"The expansive hillside was cleared of overgrowth two winters ago, to bring back a decades ago popular park winter destination. 
It has proven to be quite the sledding joy for kids and adults. Currently about 200 feet in length, there is a connecting trail that
extends nearly 400 feet up to Prospect Street.

"Year one proved to be a very popular attraction while last year’s “snow bust” saw limited activity.

"Linett Park is located on Crowley Street, off of North State Street. On-site restroom facility, bleacher seating and plenty of parking also available. Sledding at the park is free daily dusk to dawn, weather conditions permitting."

Boutique owner in Derby presents checks from fashion show proceeds

DERBY - Agathe Ngo Likoba, owner of Likoba Boutique, recently presented checks from her fashion show fundraiser to Griffin Hospital and the Derby Senior Center.
Agathe, a Parisian native, designs haute couture jumpsuits. Her elegant boutique is at 25 Elizabeth St.
She offered members of the Circle of Friends breast cancer support group at Griffin Hospital - of which I'm a member - to model her jumpsuits in a charity fashion show to celebrate the boutique's first anniversary. Six of us were models.
I was thrilled to be a part of what turned out to be an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime event held at the Derby Senior Center. 
Agathe shared this photo taken Tuesday at her shop.
