Today's riddle: What is the longest word in the dictionary? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Southington high school football preview 2026 (rep-am.com) — Southington football fans can look ahead to a 2026 season loaded with returning talent after last year's run to the Class LL final. With playmakers like Ben Beaulieu, Nick Andrews and a seasoned offensive line, the Blue Knights aim to build on their seven-game win streak finish. The schedule includes big home dates at Fontana Field and key road tests across Connecticut.
• Southington firefighters warn against using open flames to remove hornet nests, weeds (fox61.com) — Southington firefighters are urging residents to stop using blow torches or other open flames to kill hornets or burn weeds after three home fires since July 1. Officials say no one's been hurt, but siding and structures have been damaged, leading to costly insurance claims. They recommend safer methods or professional pest control, especially as hornet activity peaks in late summer.
• New Southington mural celebrates Plantsville history with help from local students (fox61.com) — A nearly finished mural at 772 South Main Street is turning downtown Plantsville into a colorful celebration of Southington's past, inspired by historic photos and longtime residents' memories. Local artist Brian Troccolo and Southington Youth Services' Mural Makers program brought high school students into the project, giving them hands-on experience while honoring the neighborhood's character ahead of a planned unveiling.
