Do a Caucus, A Democratic Caucus. Ray, the Light of Avon Summer Theater Stars...

Hello, Avon!

Today marks the first of a new feature called, well, "Today in..." We'll feature snippets of the happenings of the day, share interesting stories in town, fun facts and other much more.

While we'd love to tell you everything you should know in one day, remember Rome, and Avon for that matter, wasn't built in a day. We'll do our best to give you the key highlights. And, as always, if there's something we don't mention, it's still important to us that you can share that information with our readers.

Please utilize the comments under this post, our blogging platform, Boards and calendar to tell us other information you want people to know about your town.

For now, here's what you should know Tuesday in Avon:

Avon Democratic Caucus: The Democrats will meet July 23 at 7:30 p.m. in the Avon Room in Town Hall, Building 1 to nominate and vote on their slate of municipal candidates to run in the fall.

Avon Summer Theater: Avon is alive with the Sound of Music. Get your tickets for the latest Avon youth theater show. It runs July 25-27 at 7:30 p.m. and July 28 at 2 p.m. at Avon High School.  

Free Blood Pressure Screening: The Farmington Valley VNA will be at the Avon Senior Center on July 23 at noon doing free blood pressure screenings.

Start a Politics Blog: With election season coming up, we want everyone to have their fair say. Why not blog about your candidacy, political values and hopes for Avon?  

Get Social!: Did you know Avon Patch is on Twitter and Facebook? We hope you follow our news and like us, but please make it Facebook and Twitter official.

In the words of Porky Pig, "That's all folks!" At least for today. You'll hear from us again tomorrow. And the day after that and the day after that.
