Edible Animals Contest at the Ellington Farmers Market
Get creative and enter our Edible Animals Contest! Build an animal using fruits and vegetables and bring your masterpiece to the market for a chance to win. It's free to enter and a super fun, creative, family-friendly activity for all ages.
Here's how it works: entries should arrive at the market by 9am, customers vote all morning long for their favorites, and winners are announced at 11:45am. Winners do not need to be present to win!
While you're here, shop 50+ vendors offering local and fresh produce, protein, baked and artisanal goods, gluten-free and vegan options, and more. Bring a date, a friend, the family, or just yourself, and get out of the house for a wonderful small-town morning.

Somers Department of Veterans Affairs

The Somers Department of Veterans Affairs will host a special “Stories from Service” Veterans Coffeehouse on Saturday, September 26, 2026, from 8:30 to 11:00 a.m. at the Somers Town Hall Auditorium, 600 Main St., Somers, Connecticut.
Rather than featuring a traditional guest speaker, this month’s Coffeehouse will put the spotlight on the veterans in attendance.
Beginning at 9:15 a.m., veteran attendees will be invited to take the microphone and share a brief story, memory, lesson, or experience from their military service. Each speaker will have up to three minutes.
Stories may be serious, humorous, reflective, or simply memorable. Veterans may choose to talk about a favorite duty station, an unforgettable adventure, a funny moment, a lesson learned, a mentor, a moment of camaraderie, or another experience that has stayed with them over the years.
Veterans who prefer not to speak are also encouraged to attend, listen, reconnect with others, and enjoy the fellowship.
Program
8:30–9:00 a.m. — Coffee, sign-in and fellowship 9:00–9:15 a.m. — Welcome, opening remarks and announcements 9:15–11:00 a.m. — Open mic: veteran attendee speakers, 3 minutes each 11:00 a.m. — Clean-up; volunteers needed
Free beverages and snacks will be available, and attendees are encouraged to bring a friend.
The Veterans Coffeehouse is intended to provide a welcoming setting where veterans from all generations and branches of service can connect, share experiences, and strengthen the bonds of fellowship within the veteran community.
All veterans are welcome. Family members, caregivers, and friends are encouraged to attend.
