TOLLAND, CT — The latest installment of the Picture Tolland series takes us to Route 195 just this past Tuesday and a raucous welcome home celebration for the 2023 national champion University of Connecticut men's basketball team.

Town manager Brian Foley invited residents to a curbside "party" early in the day with the cooperation of the Tolland Fire Department.

And townsfolk responded by lining the sidewalks on Route 195 to cheer on the Husky motorcade as it passed by on the final leg home from the Final Four in Houston.
