On July 20, members and family members in partnership with the K-9 Olympics held a CT CHIP (Connecticut Child Identification Program) event. Every year the Corrections department of Connecticut holds a K-9 Olympics competition. State Police, local police and correction departments from all over New England travel to the corrections facility in Enfield for this importatnt event. This year must have been one of the hottest on record; the heat index was over 100 degrees. That did not stop the participants, dogs and trainers, from doing their best.
When Dan Kehoe moved to North Carolina in 2017, he took his Around Town Singers franchise with him. But the original group of enthusiasts here didn’t want to let the idea go, so they renamed themselves Around Town Two and have continued successfully with many of the same great voices, led by Jenn Jarvis. Their “Gazing at the Stars” dinner cabaret concert in Father Ted Hall on April 26 included a surprise extra: Jenn and several from here had gone South last summer to share in one of Dan’s Around Town Singers concerts in Clayton, N. C., so this time Dan came north to join Around Town Two, bringing with him three members from Clayton. The combination worked well. Father Ted Hall had been provided with colorful stage lights (actually down on the floor close to the tables), and after a fine dinner, Dan spoke a bit about his group in the South.
