Week Ahead in Granby and East Granby: No School, Fall Flea Market, Lost Acres Open House

Good morning, Granby and East Granby. It's Columbus Day, which means a few closings but not many. I'm not sure the real significance of this holiday anymore. A Facebook friend wrote "Tomorrow, I don't have to work as we honor a guy who sailed for India and didn't make it."

Anyone have any other opinion of it?
