Javier Colon Comes Home Today

Sixteen years after graduating Bunnell High School, Javier Colon is coming back to his alma mater - it's safe to say - a bit more popular than when he left it.

The day after winning season one of NBC's "The Voice," Colon's single, "Stitch By Stitch," became the top-selling song on iTunes. A week after being crowned champ of the national singing contest, Colon was a guest on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno."

However, Colon's newfound fame is not making him forget his roots as the Stratford native will return to Bunnell High today in what will be an almost certain boisterous affair.

While the program doesn't start until 3 p.m., gates open at 2. Admission is free. State and local officials will be on hand, including Mayor John Harkins. The school's address is 1 Bulldog Boulevard. Colon is expected to sing at least one song.
