I love when celebrities come to Connecticut. I feel like we are such a small state, so when I see someone has made their way here, I get excited. I know many celebrities have houses in the expensive zip codes of our state, but I still am surprised every time I see something.

Connecticut is known for many things, but one thing I'll always be thankful for is Stew Leonard's. I'm not sure if we take it for granted, but it really is one of the best places. There really isn't another grocery store like it and I'm really happy that we have different locations right here in our state.

I was scrolling my feed and came across a Facebook post that surprised me.

Can you imagine walking around the iconic Stew Leonard's grocery store and seeing no other than Snoop Dogg himself?! Honestly, this just adds to how legendary the store is, in my opinion.

Stew himself posted that his daughter met Snoop when he was in the store. Snoop is apparently a big fan of Stew's and loves the Avocado Girls animatronic show. How crazy is that? Next time I'm strolling around the store and grabbing my soft serve ice cream cone, I'm going to make sure my eyes are extra peeled to see if there are any celebrities just grazing on by.

I wonder what Snoop Dogg's first impression was when he walked through Stew Leonard's for the first time and saw all of the different shows. It's definitely an overwhelming experience if you're not expecting it.

Have a Look Inside the Connecticut Boxing Hall of Fame

Did you know that Mohegan Sun is home to the Connecticut Boxing Hall of Fame? I didn't, and I quite literally strolled right into it this past weekend. Mohegan Sun has played a huge role in keeping the sport alive by hosting numerous events over the past few decades, it's a perfect place to honor the best boxers to ever come from Connecticut.
