POMFRET — The Pomfret Republican Town Committee announced that Anthony Emilio has been endorsed as their candidate for Selectman. He is replacing Pomfret RTC’s initial nomination of Barry Jessurun, who respectfully declined the endorsement.
Emilio has been a member of the Board of Selectmen, the Board of Finance, the Economic Development Commission, the Pomfret Fire Department Board, and as former chairman of the Board of Assessment Appeals. He serves on the Pomfret Community Housing Board, the Pomfret Ambulance Board, is an active member of the Pomfret Republican Town Committee, and is a member of Christ Church.
Peter Mann is running for First Selectman.
“It never ceases to amaze me how so many good people live in Pomfret and work tirelessly for the betterment of our Town. We have two truly wonderful candidates to offer voters in the race for Selectmen positions this year. It is both an honor and a privilege to be a part of such a good team of people.” says Pamela Lewerenz, Chairman of the Pomfret Republican Town Committee. “The people of Pomfret will be pleased by the experience and quality of our slate.

POMFRET CENTER — Lapsley Orchard is set to host its 9th annual Sunflowers for Kids event from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 1. The orchard’s end-of-summer bounty of sunflowers and wildflowers will be harvested and sold in bunches, or available for guests to pick their own, with 100 percent of the proceeds being donated to children’s treatment and supportive programs at the United Services Center for Autism.
Along with the flowers, the event features hayrides, balloon animals and face painting for the kids, along with the orchard’s usual assortment of “pick-your-own” activities, like apple picking.
“It’s really a great way for families to soak in the end of summer and spend some time together, all while helping other children,” said John Goodman, director of development and communications at United Services, adding that the event is also a relaxing and peaceful alternative or addition to a trip to the Woodstock Fair, where thousands will flock not far down the road from the orchard.
“We’re also so thankful to John and Patti Wolchesky, owners of Lapsley Orchard, who have generously agreed to host this event and donate every penny from the sale of their flowers to help fund children’s programs at United Services for the last nine years,” Goodman said.
This is the second year that proceeds will specifically benefit the Center for Autism, which United Services opened in July of 2012 in response to the significant unmet need for autism services in eastern Connecticut.
