Good Riddance Heat And Humidity! Hellooooo Weekend!

Here's the Chamber of Commerce's weekly update on what's happening around town this weekend.

 

This information was provided by the Madison Chamber of Commerce:

Start the weekend early - come down the the "Grassy Strip" in front of the Madison Beach Hotel for their weekly Music & Art Series (music begins after 7).  The  GRASSY STRIP Music and Art Series is a complimentary celebration of live music performances along with a selection of regional artisans.  This week's featured musician is Jeffrey Gaines. His hit single "In Your Eyes" was quickly picked up by adult contemporary stations across the United States. After years of building his reputation as a singer-songwriter, Gaines toured extensively as the opening act for Stevie Nicks on her North American tour.

Music lovers come on by, relax on the grassy strip and soak in the talented stylings of Jeffrey Gaines and full band.  You may purchase drinks on the outside bar and enjoy them on the lawn... please bring a folding chair or blanket to sit on.    

    

Susan Powell Fine Art, 679 Boston Post Road, Madison, presents Along the Shore, an exhibit featuring 75 paintings by 20 artists, through August 12. The public is invited to an opening reception on Thursday, July 19 from 5 - 8 pm.  Hors d'oeuvres and refreshments will be served and many artists will be here to talk about their work.  

    

Free Beach & Rec Outdoor Concert & Movie at the Surf Club on Friday, July 20.  Concert features "The Clams" at 7pm and the movie "Despicable Me" at 9pm, sponsored by Guilford Savings Bank.  Enjoy free refreshments provided by GSB from 7:30 to 9pm.  Bring a chair or blanket to sit on & enjoy the evening.

 

Where's Waldo?  The scavenger hunt is a community-wide activity in which everyone - kids, parents, and Waldo-lovers of all ages - is invited to  participate! Since July 1st, Waldo-spotters have set off on a hunt to find our elusive guy hidden in twenty-five business establishments in Madison, CT.    Visit rjjulia.com for more information about this fun event!  

Dee-dee-dee!

Don't miss the popular KERRY BOYS at the Madison Beach & Recreation Department's outdoor Summer Concert on the Green this Sunday, July 22 from 6-8pm.  Bring a picnic dinner if you like, invite all your friends, and bring your lawn chairs or blankets so you can sit and relax while enjoying the music.  This is a family friendly show and a great way to end the weekend.  See you on the Green on Sunday!

Please remember the TWO HOUR parking limit in downtown Madison... who needs a $20 ticket spoiling ther day?  If you'd like more time to enjoy our shops, retaurants, theater, galleries and sculptures, please park in the unlimited lots behind the post office and near Stop & Shop.

Owners really need to pick up their dog's waste. It is a major polluter of the Long Island Sound.Read More Whenever your dog drops one and you leave it, think of that fish, lobster, or shellfish you ate from the Sound! Enjoy eating your dog poop bacteria!

I'm so lucky!! For 10 years my dogs have frolicked safely in the back part of Bauer - away from theRead More roads, traffic and homes - closer to the back of the HS. I have never heard any dogs bark or 'yap', never saw a dog run into the gardens and destroy the plots, never saw a dog fight or kids being assaulted and luckily avoided all the poop they are leaving behind although I do dodge the deer pellets. My timing must be stellar to avoid all the bad dogs, their dismal behavior and threats to others. Whew!!

The whole state is tick infested. Luckily, dogs can use a product called Frontline Top Spot or itsRead More cheaper generic equivalent, which completely protects them from ticks and fleas. On the shoreline to Middletown, you should be using it on your dog year round. I once saw a deer tick crawling on SNOW in Madison near the Country School in February. The Lyme vacine is ineffective in most canines and most canines that get Lyme, shake it off in time - unlike humans. Top Spot keeps the ticks off or dead for the humans that pet the dog. Regardless, dogs running on cut grass some distance from woods or taller grass won't encounter many if any ticks. Especially if the outer perimeter of the fence is treated in spring and fall.
