9/22/2023 A Message from First Selectman Bindelglass
Good afternoon,
In a town in New England, known for its trees, nothing is more beautiful than the fall with the changing leaves. Our town becomes even more beautiful than normal. It also becomes busy as people flock here to enjoy our farms and open space. Please be careful with the increased traffic, but enjoy the autumn.
For those of you who were able to attend, there was a wonderful turn out for the EMS fireworks display which was spectacular. Families came and tailgated and everybody had a wonderful time. The actual fireworks were nothing short of spectacular. This is for a great cause. Thank you to our Emergency Medical Services who provide service to the town which we could not live without.
The Conservation Commission has recently developed a new loop trail within the Morehouse open space property. Take the gravel drive toward the soccer fields, go left to the Department of Public Works gate, and you will find the entrance and the map showing the new trail. https://www.eastonct.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif3071/f/pages/would_you_like_to_explore_hiking_in_easton_0.pdf Dogs on a leash are allowed but please pick up after them. Enjoy another Easton gem! Remember that dogs are not allowed on our fields.
