Today's riddle: What has 2 arms and a neck but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Out Of Time: Ridgefield Holds Off On November Public Safety Referendum, Seeks More Work On $55M Plan (patch.com subscription) — Ridgefield officials have decided not to place the proposed $55 million combined police and fire facility on the November 3 ballot, opting instead to refine the design, site analysis, and land purchase for Danbury Road. Leaders say more engineering, cost, and zoning work is needed, and a standalone referendum will likely be scheduled later, giving residents more time to review and question the plan.
• FREE General Admission to Local Museums: September Bank of America Museums on Us Weekend (greenwichsentinel.com) — Ridgefield residents with Bank of America, Merrill, or Private Bank cards can get free general admission to The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art this Saturday and Sunday. The offer is part of a statewide Museums on Us weekend that also includes museums in Greenwich, Waterbury, New Britain, and Hartford, but cardholders must bring photo ID and check each museum's current hours.
• Gourmet popcorn brand recalled in Connecticut, New York over undeclared soy (nbcnewyork.com) — A Ridgefield-based company, Prospector Popcorn, is recalling 140 bags of its Belgian Chocolate Toffee popcorn in Connecticut and New York because soy lecithin isn't listed on the label, posing a risk to people with soy allergies. If you have this flavor with expiration dates from August 5 through October 24, 2026, you're urged to discard it or return it to the place of purchase.
