brochure for complete schedule.

Project updates include the creation of a multi-use field at Pragemann Park at

the most southern end. The uses will accommodate lacrosse, football, soccer and

0118.303 ADAPTIVE KARATE

AGES 11-14

For children with special needs*, the

benets of martial arts can be invalu-

able. Consistency and repetition are

key - repetition of the same loca-

tion, same faces, same curriculum,

and knowing what to expect are the

process to help them succeed. With

continuous structure and fun exercis-

es, even the child with multisensory

issues can rise to the occasion. Add-

ing a traditional martial arts program

to a child’s existing therapies can

only assist them in reaching their

goals faster. Focus, concentration,

balance, tone, awareness, self-

regulation, core strength, reduced

anxiety, and spatial awareness are

just a few of the benets your child

will receive.

THE NEW ENGLAND TRAIL

Many people are not aware that a national scenic trail runs through Wallingford. The

New England Trail was designated a national scenic trail in 2009. Comprised of the

Metacomet. Mattabesett and Monadnock trails, the trail is 215 miles and goes from

Long Island Sound in Guilford to Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire.

Approximately 6 miles of this trail crosses the ridge in Wallingford through Trimountain

State Park. It is a steep hike up to the ridge, but the breathtaking views make the

hike worth the effort. There are three access points to this section of the trail, off of

route 68 just after the junction with route 157, off of Cliffside Dr., and off of Howd Rd.

in Durham, just over the border from Wallingford. Feel part of something larger that is

nationally recognized! www.newenglandtrail.org

FRESH MEADOWS

This town owned open space property on Cheshire Rd. has accessible trails which

are composed of paving or stone dust and graded to comply with ADA Standards.

There is approximately 1 mile of trails which are 6’ and 8’ wide. One trail goes along

the edge of Cheshire Rd. One is a loop through a buttery meadow, and one goes to

the property’s pond. Amenities include 2 benches and an accessible portable toilet

during the warmer months. The property includes a variety of wildlife and a glacier

erratic, large boulder deposited by a glacier.

Twilight Tunes

Formed in 1995, Leaf Jumpers were one of

Connecticut's best jam bands in the late 1990's.

Sharing the stage with Sister Hazel, God Street

Wine, Disco Biscuits, Rustic Overtones, Max Creek

and Deep Banana Blackout, the band played the

East Coast's best venues. Reuniting in 2013, the

band surged in 2014, playing Connecticut's biggest

fairs and festivals, as well as large festivals in New

York and Maryland. The band has received rave

reviews. The band's lineup, consisting of singer/

guitarist Chris Marra, singer/keyboard player Marc

Apostolides, bass player Spike Kingsley and

drummer Scott Peszko, has steadily attracted fans

with their solid harmonies, outstanding

musicianship, and memorable songwriting.

CTA faithfully recreates the music of one of the

greatest American Bands ever, Chicago. They

focus on the early years of Chicago, better known

as the “Terry Kath Era” when the band was raw

with emotion, heart and soul.

River of Dreams is an authentic tribute to the

music of Billy Joel, a six piece band from the New

York tri- state area they cover all decades of Billy’s

career, and try to look the part. Jonny Coz is the

epitome of what Billy Joel looks and sounds like

they have performed at weddings, concerts,

restaurants, night clubs, hotels and more.

In the event of cancellation

bands will perform on the

main stage at Celebrate

Wallingford in October.

Twilight Tunes

While running up 91 on a beautiful, New England

when Jonathan Schneider knew he had to assemble

a band. He assembled a group of talented

musicians who began performing songs around the

state by Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Linda

Rondstadt, Joni Mitchell and the Eagles.

Coyote River is CT’s premier modern

country and pop/rock event to be seen.

and impassioned song renditions will have

the audience entertained and up and

moving for the entire show!
