Popular FOX CT News weather personality Joe Furey will return as master of ceremonies for the fifth annual CT Walks For Haiti walk-a-thon and Haitian festival.
(Today he said the weather will be rainy so it will probably be sunny and warm again as last years walk was!)
Baseball Season Starts Today!!! Are You A Red Sox Fan?
Win Tickets, rain or shine! This package includes the opportunity to watch, from the warning track, as the Red Sox take Batting Practice and the opportunity to watch 2 innings from the WEEI Radio Announcer's booth.
Attracting hundreds of supporters, the annual walk through West Hartford Center and Blue Back Square raises funds for established Haitian charities. Walkers gather at St. Peter Claver parish center for the 2.5 mi. walk and the Haitian-themed festival, offering authentic Haitian cuisine, crafts, music, and a silent auction, with items ranging from Red Sox tickets to gift cards from local businesses, and much more.
