Friday Flags in Thomaston CT with a Concert

I had to dop some documents off to a lawyer in Thomaston CT for a closing. I thought I heard singing on the way in and as I came out it was still there.

I walked across the street to the gazebo on the center green in town and the voices were from the school children offering their songs but no audience, except myself.

I stood and listened to them sing and applauded when they were done. I mentioned to the teacher that it was highly unusual to get a concert on the green at that time of day to which she responded that the kids have a curfew.

As to put the icing on the cake, I looked to my right and on the other end of the circle, the flag was waving to me as if to say don't ignore us.

And I didn't. A great way to start the week, with music a Friday Flag and a closing this week as well. It's going to be a great week.

That is awesome!  If I heard children singing, I would stop and listen to them until they were done, that is so precious.

Brian England   I listened to a couple of songs and then applauded and cheered loudly. That's when I spoke to the teacher.

We have a very hot day for outdoor events in Maryland.

However, we have a sunny day and the flags are flying.

Nice picture, Ed. Trust your closing went well. I've never heard of Thomaston... what is it close to?

Nina Hollander, Broker   It is in Litchfield County and adjacent to Watertown, north of Waterbury. It was once the home of Seth Thomas clocks which was famous for chimed clocks and grandfather clocks.

Hi Ed- I'll bet the flags know when you're on your way and start their flag dance to catch your attention.
