Perhaps it’s because this has been such an outstandingly horrible two years, or maybe it’s because we’re all wearing masks anyway so why not just go Full Halloween Costume?
Whatever the reason, there seems to be a super abundance of Halloween events planned for this year.
So far, here’s what we know:
Big errors are humbling but also an opportunity to learn. Such was the case last week when the Compass touted an upcoming laser show at Sharon Playhouse in Sharon, Conn., and incorrectly said that one of the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) tribute bands would be onstage.
The annual summertime Weekend in Norfolk, Conn., (also known cheerfully as WIN) will be held from Friday, July 30, to Sunday, Aug. 1. Small but mighty, Norfolk is bubbling over with an astonishingly diverse array of activities, from hiking and boating to classical music to dance music to visual arts to farming (and of course eating).

The Tristate region is host to what seems to be an unusually large number of railroad enthusiasts. Certainly this area has plenty of railway history to offer on its own.

Lime Rock Park race track in Salisbury, Conn., has three premier events on the calendar for its 65th year with all promising a full weekend of racing entertainment.
It’s 40 minutes from my front door in Lakeville, Conn., to Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y., also known as the town of Red Hook (not to be confused with the one in Brooklyn).
The Lantern (located at 10 Main St. in the hamlet of Wassaic) is open at 2 p.m. Fridays through Sundays, enticing customers with wood-fired pizzas, homemade pasta and other culinary delights — and a beautiful garden space in which to dine. Photo submitted
I’ve visited the hamlet of Wassaic (in the town of Amenia, N.Y.), countless times — both as a reporter for The Millerton News and as cyclist on the Rail Trail.

The Barn in Egremont, Mass., has a full spring calendar of live performances in a range of small-venue musical styles, with tickets usually running $10 each.
Performances (and meals) are outdoors, with COVID-19 social distance protocols observed.
This is it, folks, the year when you actually have a legitimate excuse to stay home for Thanksgiving and the winter holidays and cook whatever you want. There is no pressure this year to include all the main and side dishes that your sister and your mother and your Aunt Suzanne consider an irreplaceable part of the season.
Halloween is fast approaching, which means it’s time to forget everything Tom Ford told you about how to look beautiful on Zoom.
Spooky season is now in full effect, and while many of Halloween’s festivities may be canceled due to the quarantine, we can still carry on the way we have been with everything else this year: on Zoom!
