Attended the community meeting tonight hosted by Lux Bond and Green and their new proposal for the former Bank Square Books. This proposal now goes to the Historic District. Comission then to Groton Planning and Zoning. If you are interested in having you voice be heard you can submit letters to the planning and zoning committee concerning this project.
What a magical night in Mystic! ✨🎄
I had the pleasure of attending and judging the Mystic Holiday Lighted Boat Parade, and the creativity on display was incredible. Dozens of boats lit up the river with dazzling Christmas lights — such a special tradition that brings our community together every year.
We also kicked off the evening with the annual tree lighting, which was such a beautiful way to welcome the season. (If you missed it, I shared a video earlier!)
A huge thank you to the Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce for organizing another fantastic event. Their hard work and dedication help make celebrations like this truly unforgettable.
Wishing everyone a joyful and bright start to the holiday season! ✨🛥️🎄
