Waterbury Thoughts: Summer Camp Launch
http://waterburythoughts.blogspot.com/2015/07/summer-camp-launch.html
Thursday, July 02, 2015. Sometimes it seems like there is more energy spent on complaining about problems than on solving problems, so I'm always delighted when I see the problem solvers shine. Preparing to march through the neighborhood on September 28, 2014. Erika Cooper at the podium, flanked by volunteers who are assisting with the new summer camp. The original plan was to hold the summer camp at the Kingdom First church, but the building needs some renovation before this can be done. Thanks to A...

http://waterburythoughts.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-gathering-2015.html
Saturday, May 16, 2015. The third great year of a great event. Thousands of people, speaking dozens of different languages, with different cultures and different life experiences, all gathering together for a festival celebrating each others music, dance, clothing, food, culture. New Zealand (Rod Dixon). Maloney Magnet School puppets. Duggan Elementary School dragons. Kennedy High School's Nuts and Bolts of Fury- and their robot, which was later set up in a tent for kids to try using (it shoots frisbies).

Waterbury Thoughts: Municipal Stadium Origins
http://waterburythoughts.blogspot.com/2015/04/municipal-stadium-origins.html
Wednesday, April 15, 2015. During the 1890s, the Waterbury Driving Park opened on Watertown Avenue. Owned by the City, it hosted races for horses, cyclists, and runners; football games for high schools; and baseball games for city teams. AJ Patton, Map of the City of Waterbury, 1909. Municipal Stadium continued to be used for the same functions as its predecessor, the Driving Park. Those activities included competitive sports (even boxing matches), circus performances, and rallies. CT Transit Bus Routes.

Waterbury Thoughts: June 2015
http://waterburythoughts.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 28, 2015. First Annual Jerk Festival at Library Park. Two of the things I love best about Waterbury are its summertime ethnic festivals and its diversity of culture and food, so I was delighted to learn that the West Indian Social Club of Greater Waterbury. Was launching an annual Jerk Festival. I had a busy day, but I made time to swing by the festival for lunch and take a few photos. For those who are unfamiliar with the term, jerk is a spicy Caribbean dry-rub barbeque (in simplest terms).

Waterbury Thoughts: Snow Fun
http://waterburythoughts.blogspot.com/2015/02/snow-fun.html
Thursday, February 05, 2015. With a couple of feet of snow still on the ground, and another foot expected on Sunday and Monday, many people are feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. What if, instead of despairing, we embraced the large quantity of snow to have a snow sculpting competition? It would be a fun use of the excess snow, and could be held in one of the city parks. Maybe that's a little ambitious for a spur of the moment idea. As they say, start small. One of my three growing snow mountains.
