We've had dozens, we've even had 100 balloons at playgroup before but it just wasn't enough. The only solution? To bring HUNDREDS of course. Bring a change of clothes for your little one because we are going to have one wild and crazy water balloon party. Adults are always encouraged to join in on the fun! And if for some reason Mother Nature rains on our parade we'll bring hundreds of regular balloons instead. Check out our Meetup page for more playgroup details and future activities: http://www.meetup.com/FIT4MOMCT/

Westport Farmers' Market
50 Imperial Avenue, Westport
Westport Farmers’ Market Enters Its 12th Year with Something for Everyone!
Mark your calendars for the start of the Westport Farmers’ Market on Thursday, May 18th, from 10 to 2 at 50 Imperial Avenue. Whether you are on a break from work, have a day off with kids, or are meeting a friend to shop, this season’s market has something for everyone. “We’ve been working hard to make the Westport Farmers’ Market a weekly destination for the community,” said Lori Cochran-Dougall, market manager. “And we’re really excited with the result this year! We’ll have all of the vendors and activities that people love along with new vendors and programs to attract new faces.”
Opening day promises to be food and fun-filled with music by the ever-popular Henry Jones (who has been known to serenade kids with a sweet rendition of Itsy Bitsy Spider), the addition of EggZ, the market’s newest farm-to-food-truck vendor, and a special sparkling-juice toast at noon to kick off the best season yet.
Chefs from area restaurants will return this year to provide a source of inspiration to area shoppers. Each week they will create easy, healthful, delicious meals using fresh, local products found at the market. These seasonal recipes and others from top chefs throughout the area will be distributed each week at the market and available on the WFM website.
Why not consider starting out the season by becoming a Friend of the Market? The market will have new bags available at the information booth for $40 and – in exchange – every vendor promises a discounted item. You could make back your investment in one day while supporting the hard work of farmers and makers.
“The Westport Farmers’ Market continues to blossom into a place that celebrates the best in fresh, local food, and all that goes into cultivating and creating it,” said Cochran-Dougall. “Thanks to the thousands of shoppers from all over Fairfield County and beyond, the WFM boasts nearly 50 vendors, food trucks, chef demonstrations, children’s activities, music, yoga and wellness classes, and more. It has become a destination for families, friends, and co-workers to meet, as well as the source for weekly food for the kitchen.”

Westport Farmers' Market
50 Imperial Avenue, Westport
Westport Farmers’ Market Enters Its 12th Year with Something for Everyone!
Mark your calendars for the start of the Westport Farmers’ Market on Thursday, May 18th, from 10 to 2 at 50 Imperial Avenue. Whether you are on a break from work, have a day off with kids, or are meeting a friend to shop, this season’s market has something for everyone. “We’ve been working hard to make the Westport Farmers’ Market a weekly destination for the community,” said Lori Cochran-Dougall, market manager. “And we’re really excited with the result this year! We’ll have all of the vendors and activities that people love along with new vendors and programs to attract new faces.”
Opening day promises to be food and fun-filled with music by the ever-popular Henry Jones (who has been known to serenade kids with a sweet rendition of Itsy Bitsy Spider), the addition of EggZ, the market’s newest farm-to-food-truck vendor, and a special sparkling-juice toast at noon to kick off the best season yet.
Chefs from area restaurants will return this year to provide a source of inspiration to area shoppers. Each week they will create easy, healthful, delicious meals using fresh, local products found at the market. These seasonal recipes and others from top chefs throughout the area will be distributed each week at the market and available on the WFM website.
Why not consider starting out the season by becoming a Friend of the Market? The market will have new bags available at the information booth for $40 and – in exchange – every vendor promises a discounted item. You could make back your investment in one day while supporting the hard work of farmers and makers.
“The Westport Farmers’ Market continues to blossom into a place that celebrates the best in fresh, local food, and all that goes into cultivating and creating it,” said Cochran-Dougall. “Thanks to the thousands of shoppers from all over Fairfield County and beyond, the WFM boasts nearly 50 vendors, food trucks, chef demonstrations, children’s activities, music, yoga and wellness classes, and more. It has become a destination for families, friends, and co-workers to meet, as well as the source for weekly food for the kitchen.”

FREE | OUTDOORS | BRADY RYMER & THE LITTLE BAND THAT COULD
After a decade-long career with RCA Records jam band From Good Homes, recording and touring with acts from the Dave Matthews Band to Bob Dylan and Bob Weir's Ratdog, Brady Rymer ventured into family music as he started his own family, releasing Good Morning, Gus in 2000. Since then, he has released eight CDs, including 2017's GRAMMY-nominated Press Play, 2014's GRAMMY-nominated Just Say Hi! and the 2008 GRAMMY-nominated Here Comes Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could.
Rymer’s rootsy, accordion-laced pop and rock music regularly wins critical acclaim and national awards including three Children's GRAMMY nominations as well as numerous Parents' Choice Gold and NAPPA (National Parenting Publications) Gold Awards, and has garnered him a growing fan base of enthusiastic families. Together with his longtime bandmates in the Little Band That Could -- outstanding players all, with backgrounds from Americana to Zydeco -- he performs rockin' live music for kids and families across the country at Performing Arts Centers, concert halls, clubs, outdoor festivals, schools and libraries.
Presented by the Levitt Pavilion as part of our Melissa & Doug Children's Series! Every Wednesday, kids rock and rule at the Levitt Pavilion! Kids are welcome to visit the Melissa & Doug Hospitality tent for kids and enjoy complimentary face-painting for kids (while supplies last)! On-site activities begin at 6.

Westport Farmers' Market
50 Imperial Avenue, Westport
Westport Farmers’ Market Enters Its 12th Year with Something for Everyone!
Mark your calendars for the start of the Westport Farmers’ Market on Thursday, May 18th, from 10 to 2 at 50 Imperial Avenue. Whether you are on a break from work, have a day off with kids, or are meeting a friend to shop, this season’s market has something for everyone. “We’ve been working hard to make the Westport Farmers’ Market a weekly destination for the community,” said Lori Cochran-Dougall, market manager. “And we’re really excited with the result this year! We’ll have all of the vendors and activities that people love along with new vendors and programs to attract new faces.”
Opening day promises to be food and fun-filled with music by the ever-popular Henry Jones (who has been known to serenade kids with a sweet rendition of Itsy Bitsy Spider), the addition of EggZ, the market’s newest farm-to-food-truck vendor, and a special sparkling-juice toast at noon to kick off the best season yet.
Chefs from area restaurants will return this year to provide a source of inspiration to area shoppers. Each week they will create easy, healthful, delicious meals using fresh, local products found at the market. These seasonal recipes and others from top chefs throughout the area will be distributed each week at the market and available on the WFM website.
Why not consider starting out the season by becoming a Friend of the Market? The market will have new bags available at the information booth for $40 and – in exchange – every vendor promises a discounted item. You could make back your investment in one day while supporting the hard work of farmers and makers.
“The Westport Farmers’ Market continues to blossom into a place that celebrates the best in fresh, local food, and all that goes into cultivating and creating it,” said Cochran-Dougall. “Thanks to the thousands of shoppers from all over Fairfield County and beyond, the WFM boasts nearly 50 vendors, food trucks, chef demonstrations, children’s activities, music, yoga and wellness classes, and more. It has become a destination for families, friends, and co-workers to meet, as well as the source for weekly food for the kitchen.”

Pack a picnic, bring a lawn-chair or blanket, and enjoy one of the last evenings of the summer on Pequot Library's Great Lawn with Folk Duo, Hungrytown.
This special concert is the final event in the Pequot Library Summer Concert Series. Free and open to the public.
About Hungrytown:
After more than a decade of world-wide touring and three album releases, Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson--otherwise known as the folk duo Hungrytown--have earned a reputation for the quality and authenticity of their songwriting: “It’s great to hear an act eschew sentimentality in favor of honesty and to prove that you don’t have to go raiding the memory of others to find the stuff that really good songs are made of,” writes Jedd Beaudoin of Popmatters.
Lyricist Rebecca Hall is credited with compositions “that sound as timeless as any traditional songs” (Northern Sky, UK) while producer/multi-instrumentalist/husband Ken Anderson is lauded for his “remarkable affinity for instrumental embellishment” (No Depression) and for crafting Hungrytown’s “gorgeous vocal harmonies” (Folk and Roots, UK).
Hungrytown's introduction to folk music came when a close friend--who died young due to a tragic misdiagnosis--entrusted to them her collection of 1960s folk albums and her guitar (which has since been featured on all of their albums). Inspired by the grit and true-to-life experiences she heard in these traditional ballads, Hall was inspired to write the lyrics that later became her first songs, aided by Anderson’s flair for musical arrangement. Soon afterwards, Hall released two solo albums, Sings! (1999) and Sunday Afternoon (2002), both produced by Anderson. In the winter of 2003, the duo quit their boring desk jobs, moved to the green hills of Vermont, and decided to pursue a full-time career as touring musicians.
They released their first CD, Hungrytown, in 2008; Any Forgotten Thing in 2011; and Further West in 2015. The couple continue to spend more than half of each year on the road, especially roads in North America, Europe and New Zealand. Hungrytown's music has received extensive radio airplay worldwide and has appeared on several television shows, including Comedy Central's The Daily Show, IFC's Portlandia, and Netflix's Lady Dynamite.

As one of three daughters of the wealthy Sir Walter (Corin Redgrave), Anne (Amanda Root) is a privileged but lonely member of the English aristocracy. When her father leaves on a trip, he rents out part of his estate to relatives of Anne's ex-fiancé, Capt. Frederick Wentworth (Ciarán Hinds). Though Anne demurred over the marriage because of Wentworth's poor social standing and connections, he has since become very successful, and when he visits, Anne must confront the life she left behind. Persuasion was Jane Austen’s last completed novel before her death in 1817.

Westport Farmers' Market
50 Imperial Avenue, Westport
Westport Farmers’ Market Enters Its 12th Year with Something for Everyone!
Mark your calendars for the start of the Westport Farmers’ Market on Thursday, May 18th, from 10 to 2 at 50 Imperial Avenue. Whether you are on a break from work, have a day off with kids, or are meeting a friend to shop, this season’s market has something for everyone. “We’ve been working hard to make the Westport Farmers’ Market a weekly destination for the community,” said Lori Cochran-Dougall, market manager. “And we’re really excited with the result this year! We’ll have all of the vendors and activities that people love along with new vendors and programs to attract new faces.”
Opening day promises to be food and fun-filled with music by the ever-popular Henry Jones (who has been known to serenade kids with a sweet rendition of Itsy Bitsy Spider), the addition of EggZ, the market’s newest farm-to-food-truck vendor, and a special sparkling-juice toast at noon to kick off the best season yet.
Chefs from area restaurants will return this year to provide a source of inspiration to area shoppers. Each week they will create easy, healthful, delicious meals using fresh, local products found at the market. These seasonal recipes and others from top chefs throughout the area will be distributed each week at the market and available on the WFM website.
Why not consider starting out the season by becoming a Friend of the Market? The market will have new bags available at the information booth for $40 and – in exchange – every vendor promises a discounted item. You could make back your investment in one day while supporting the hard work of farmers and makers.
“The Westport Farmers’ Market continues to blossom into a place that celebrates the best in fresh, local food, and all that goes into cultivating and creating it,” said Cochran-Dougall. “Thanks to the thousands of shoppers from all over Fairfield County and beyond, the WFM boasts nearly 50 vendors, food trucks, chef demonstrations, children’s activities, music, yoga and wellness classes, and more. It has become a destination for families, friends, and co-workers to meet, as well as the source for weekly food for the kitchen.”
