From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Downtown hardware store

This week's "Turnback Tuesday" features not one but two photos of Hallock's Hardware Store on Main Street in Derby.

The first one must have taken place around Decoration Day or Independence Day because of the patriotic buntings hanging from the windows.

The other photo is actually a print of a photo of Hallock's Hardware Store, with the name plate above the door reading "Hallock & Co. Hardware Cutlery Iron Steel Etc. " and a small sign off to the right reading "Lumber Yard."

These pictures were probably taken in the early 1900s.

Griffin community thanked for support of gloves, mittens drive for children

Keeping Little Hands Warm this Winter

A warm and cozy thank you to all the Griffin Health caregivers and members of our community for their support of this year's Griffin Health Community Outreach and SafeKids Greater Naugatuck Valley Gloves & Mittens Drive.

More than 200 pairs of gloves and mittens were collected at Griffin Hospital in December.

They were distributed throughout the Valley this month, including at the TEAM Inc. HeadStart program where children used their new gloves to play Winter Safety BINGO recently.
