The entire event takes place on the Danbury green which will be the home of a 40-foot holiday tree.

"Light the Lights" is a free event, open to all, including Santa Clause. That's right, Jolly Ole' St. Nick will be in attendance. Santa will arrive on a fire truck and take pictures with the kids.

The green will be transformed into a "winter wonderland" with the edges of the green dotted with vendor tents from all over the local area. Danbury Mayor Dean Esposito will also be in attendance and will be responsible for the official lighting of the tree.

There will be food for sale, shopping available, lights as far as the eye can see, Santa, a fire truck parade, free cookies, free hot chocolate and live entertainment. How could you go wrong? There is no way I am missing this, I've waited for this kind of event to happen in Danbury, for years. We always go to the Ridgefield Winter event, and I've always said, this is cool but I wish it was in Danbury.

If you'd like to be a vendor at the "Light the Lights Winter Festival" contact City Center Danbury for more information through their website www.citycenterdanbury.com. This event is fun and friendly for all ages and runs from 1 pm to 7 pm.

Creepy CT - New Images Beyond the Walls of Newtown's Abandoned Asylum - Fairfield Hills

Since it's frowned upon (illegal) to go inside the buildings without permission, there are not that many photos/videos from inside the walls. When a new video or photos surface, I jump on it, and that is exactly what I did when these images appeared on September 23, 2022.

Danbury Resident Has Astonishing Close Encounter With Famous Moose

His name is Daryl Pitman, and he's a Danbury resident who recently had a super-close encounter with a moose that has become famous in the Greater-Danbury area. In the past few days this moose has been seen in multiple Danbury locations, it's been seen in Newtown, New Fairfield, Woodbury and even Pawling, NY to name a few.

I saw Daryl's pictures in a different moose related thread and reached out to him. I asked him to tell me more. I wanted to know if these photos were real? Did he take the pictures? Was this in Danbury? When was this? How did he feel. An excited Daryl got back to me with the following responses.
