Got an email the other day from a blogger covering New Canaan. It was timely too. According the blogger, Will:

If you are bored this weekend or want to entertain the kids, you should consider attending the St. Mark’s May Fair on Saturday (5/11) in New Canaan. This festival has games, rides, food and much more. I will be taking my kids. Hope to see you there!
