 The best way I have found to keeping kids out of trouble, is by keeping them busy with productive activities.  One of the best ways to do that is to get kids involved with local Park & Rec programs.  For those who live in New Britain, CT, they have an excellent resource in the 2015-2016 New Britain, Parks & Rec After School Programs.The New Britain Park & Rec Department has several programs listed on their website which New Britain residents both young and old can participate in.  So do not hesitate and visit the New Britain, CT website, or call the New Britain, CT Park & Rec Department at (860) 826-3360 to start taking advantage of the programs they are offering today.   *************************************************************************************************  Info about the a...

New Britain Greek Festival On October 10-11, 2014.  The last few years there has been a Greek Festival in New Britain, CT during Memorial Day Weekend, but this is the first time I have seen one advertised for October.   The one in May was the Dionysos Greek Festival, Which I believe was organized by the same Greek Church as this one.  I was unable to make it to the Greek Festival in May, so this gives me another opportunity to make it to one this year.  I have not been able to find a list of food and activities for the New Britain Greek Festival On October 10th & 11th, but I would expect it will be very similar to what was provided at the Dionysos Greek Festival in May since it is being organized by the same Greek Church. I went back and took a look at the blog I wrote on the Dionysos G...

   Me , my wife, my youngest son, and his fiance went to the New Britain Roc Cats vs the New Hampshire Fisher Cats game this past Friday.  This was the Final 2014 Home Series For The New Britain Rock Cats and a great way to start off the Labor Day weekend.  The Rock Cats are the Double AA Minor League affiliate for the Minnesota Twins, and the New Hampshire Fisher Cats are the affiliate for the Toronto Blue Jays.  My family and I love to go to the New Britain Rock Cats games and try to go to several of them a year, especially when the Trenton Thunder, the New York Yankees AA affiliate is in town. New Britain Rock Cats Stadium, in New Britain, CT is only 15 minutes up RT9, and an excellent place to not only go see some excellent baseball, but also a great opportunity to see future baseb...
