Let\'s see... Sean W. Moore is my mother\'s boss, and Kathryn R. Olson was my first grade teacher. Who else do we know on this committee? Let\'s sell us some Breakfast.
Let\'s put some muscle on them and see if we can\'t "persuade" there minds to the Breakfast
Rob DeRosa books that event, and he happens to be a huge Breakfast fan. we tried to get a date together for the Daffodil Festival, which he also books, but we couldn\'t fit it in with everything else going on.
I have discussed this event with Rob...he\'s sort of under mandate to make it a very \'Family" (read old) event, but some emails might help him convince the powers that be.
I don\'t have his email...but use the "contact" button at

^^^ nice, a few emails can never hurt, especially from us that live in the Meriden/Wallinford/Cheshire/Southington area.
I\'d rather see the boyx headline Milford Oyster Festival.... Too bad they already booked Spin Doctors.....

Hubbard park is such a great little area. They have great hiking trail up to \'castle craig\' (the tower you see when your driving on I-691 between 84 and 91/merritt), not to mention a good size band bowl with a nice big area to sit and watch the bands. I always thought it would be great to see the breakfast play there. Should have known Steff would be on it!
