Hartford Public Library, Downtown Library

Join us Wednesday, September 30, from 5:30–7:00 PM at the Hartford Public Library Community Room to hear what Hartford residents told us about why people do and don’t vote, share your own perspective, and explore how we can turn what we’ve learned into action.
CTData will share findings from our research through an interactive data walk, giving community members, nonprofit organizations, and civic partners an opportunity to discuss the data, connect it to their own experiences and work, and help identify next steps for strengthening civic participation in Hartford.
You’ll also have opportunities to connect with organizations doing civic engagement work across the city and find concrete ways to get involved—from registering to vote and learning about upcoming elections to becoming a Voter Captain, joining the Hartford Votes-Vota Coalition, or bringing conversations about voting and civic engagement into your own neighborhood or organization.
Spanish language groups and materials will be available.
Food will be available beginning at 5:00 PM. <a href="https://www.ctdata.org/event-calendar/building-democracy-turning-data-into-action-for-hartford-voters" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Registration is required.</a>

Connecticut Museum of Culture and History

During the years prior to the Industrial Revolution, clothing was considered as necessary protection to the wearer, a store of value, and an outward expression of socioeconomic status. Today these garments provide us with an invaluable window into the material culture of past times
Using examples of men’s clothing from the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History and other collections in the state, Henry Cooke will examine the interrelationship of fashion, commerce, politics, and technology that were responsible for creating these garments and how they help us to better understand the lives of Connecticut’s early citizens.
The Connecticut Museum of Culture and History’s collection of men’s and women’s clothing is unique in the number, variety and quality items from the mid to late 18th century. Many of the garments are identified to their original wearers, who range from ordinary citizens to the colonial elite. Their lives would intersect and collide during the Revolutionary era, as Connecticut’s citizens struggled with the economic, social and military costs that also found their outward expression in their clothing, which was preserved as a reminder of that struggle.
This program is part of the Museum’s “Made to Last” series, which pairs items from our collection with modern day artisans who discuss change and tradition in their field of expertise.
This program is free, but spaces are limited. Get free tickets to reserve your spot!

The Mark Twain House & Museum

**THE MARK TWAIN CONNECTION:** The difference between the almost right word &amp; the right word is really a large matter–it’s the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning. – Mark Twain (letter to George Bainton, 15 Oct 1888) **ABOUT THE TOPIC:** Samuel Johnson’s *Dictionary of the English Language* was published in 1755, just 21 years before the Declaration of Independence.

This event is presented in partnership with the Noah Webster House and West Hartford Historical Society. **ABOUT THE SPEAKER:** Celine Luppo McDaid is The Hyde Director and Curator of Dr Johnson’s House, London—“The House of Words” where Johnson completed his Dictionary of the English Language.

Any adult who has helped a learner—formally or informally—has access to two useful voices: a “Teacher Voice” that provides instruction, information, and sometimes step-by-step directions, and an “Executive Function Coach Voice” that invites thinking, problem-solving, and&nbsp;ownership.
Both are important. The key is knowing which voice the learner needs in the moment — when to step in with direction and when to step back and make room for&nbsp;thinking.
Join Cognition and Learning Teacher and Executive Function Coach Robyn Greenspan, Cognition and Learning Head of Department Brittany Bloom-Price, and Director of Cognition and Learning Dr. Kristin Simmers as they share research-informed strategies that work for learners of all ages, with a&nbsp;focus&nbsp;on:
<ul><li>A clear, plain-language understanding of executive function&nbsp;coaching</li><li>How to recognize when to use Teacher Voice and EF Coach&nbsp;Voice</li><li>Specific language shifts that encourage thinking, problem-solving, and&nbsp;ownership</li><li>Practical strategies that can be used at home and at&nbsp;school</li></ul>Register here: <a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_D1qWlcZ4Sj-1heuQsg7ElQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_D1qWlcZ4Sj-1heuQsg7ElQ</a>

Middletown House Concert Series

Andrew VanNorstrand is a musician, singer, and songwriter based in Springfield, Vermont. He has performed on festival stages, concert halls, dance floors, and living rooms all over North America and beyond. With his brother Noah VanNorstrand, Andrew has and recorded with the popular dance band Great Bear and is now often on the road with progressive folk/roots quartet The Faux Paws. From the Rust Belt to the Blue Ridge, cold spring in New England to a summer’s night in Charlottesville, his original songs seek out beauty in the search and struggle for understanding. Andrew blends traditional folk, old-time, country, and Western swing with a deep appreciation of indie-roots-Americana and artists like Jeff Tweedy, Richard Thompson, Gillian Welch, Sufjan Stevens, and Townes Van Zandt. Rachel Bell is sought after for concerts, contra dances, French BalFolk dances, English country dances, workshops, and festivals. Her playing spans an enormous range of emotion, from nuanced and sensitive to exhilarating and powerful, pushing the boundaries of what is expected from an accordion. Rachel’s work is infused with a contagious enthusiasm for her instrument and a deep respect for the musical traditions she carries. She loves to create authentic connections with audiences everywhere—from packed, energized dance halls to small, intimate house concert settings. She is passionate about sharing with others the delight she finds in this music.$25 suggested donation

Mill Street Marketplace

Haunt &amp; Gather is back for year two!!
This is the one that leans fully into the season 😏 darker, a little witchy, and filled with pieces that feel right at home in October! You’ll find a mix of oddities, vintage, handmade work, and artists bringing work that really screams Halloween! 🎃🥹
As always, everything is curated with intention - no AI, no reseller junk, no mass produced crap. Just real work from small businesses and artists who care about what they’re creating.
There will be tattooing during the event by Yellow Pants Tattoo with flash available, plus the Taste Garden Cafe food truck and Caffeine Coven serving only the best drinks (yes, even the ones with the tiny marshmallow ghosts 👻).
The market takes place at Mill Street Marketplace, which has 80+ permanent indoor vendors, so there’s plenty to check out throughout the space while you’re there.
Also, Wethersfield in October just has a really specific feel to it. Main Street is filled with handmade scarecrows all month, and the whole town turns into a walkable fall backdrop with historic buildings, shops, and seasonal decor everywhere you look!
Feel free to come in costume &amp; bring your Halloween spirit!! 🎃
