Town prevails

PUTNAM --- Town Administrator Douglas M. Cutler said the state's appellate court has recently affirmed in the town's favor in a nuisance lawsuit about a parking lot next to the Aspinock Historical Society's building on School street.

Don Perry had filed suit against the town  last October, claiming that the town's parking lot was a nuisance because drivers would park there, shining their headlights into the Perry house and changing their oil and more. Perry lost in court and the town learned that the appellate court upheld the town's position. 

 

 

Snappy Hat

Ranging from construction hard hats and umbrella caps to fedora’s and pirate tricorne hats. No cap, hat, helmet or crown was denied. The origins of this fun day are relatively unknown although Hedda Hopper, American actress and columnist in the 1930s who was famously known for the extravagant hats she designed is often credited as inspiration.
