Today in Glastonbury: Sand Castles, Kidding Around the Center, and a Council Meeting

Good morning! Today is Tuesday, July 23, 2013.

1. Sand Castle Contest at Eastbury Pond:  Children of all ages are invited to build sandcastles at Eastbury Pond on Tuesday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.  Registration for the free event begins at the pond at 10:30 a.m. and is open to children of all ages.  Children may work on their castle individually or in groups.

2. Last Night of Kidding Around the Center:  This annual children’s fun fair and festival on the town center green has a whole host of fun, free activities for kids, as well as a few that require tickets for a nominal fee. The entertainment showcases some of the local community businesses and groups working with children.  The event, sponsored by the Glastonbury Town Center Initiatives, will run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday.

3. Child/Adult Fun Runs:  If you’re not at Kidding Around the Center Tuesday night, maybe a series of fun runs at the Glastonbury High School grounds is more your speed.  These free fun runs begin with registration at 6:30 p.m. at Glastonbury High School, near the Gym entrance, for a 6:50 p.m. start time and include a one-mile children’s jog, and 2.4 mile and 3.5 mile for adults.  There are just three summer runs left, so get your shoes on now!
