Windsor Locks Heritage Day

The first annual Windsor Locks Heritage Day is quickly approaching. The History group at the Windsor Locks Middle School has been working tirelessly to make sure the day is a great success. The day is to honor the Heritage and History of Windsor Locks and to celebrate all of the great things going on in the town today! Last week members of the history club met with the district committee, and the Meeting on Main to discuss some major updates for the day.

The day will be set up based around the middle school fields, and the Windsor Locks Middle School. Local vendors, and entertainment will be set up outside on the field, and inside the school will be various showcase of student work revolving around the History of Windsor Locks. All proceeds will go to the restoration of the Historic Windsor Locks Train Station.

Vendors: At this point the group can confirm that there are approximately twenty local businesses set up to either be vendors, or sponsors for the event. The list include LulaRoe, Tina's Cake Emporium, Windsor Locks Historical Society Windsor Sunoco, Sign Pro Inc., Town of Windsor Locks Planning and Zoning, Local Lodge 743 International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers, Jan's Sewing Room, 360 Federal Credit Union, Barile Realty Group, Stella's Charles-Ten Restaurant, Aiello Home Services, Hills Home Market, All About Smiles, Avon, Bobby V's, Family Designs, New England Air Museum, Dairy Cream, Roncari Express Valet Parking and the Windsor Locks Lion Club. The group is still looking for local vendors, and if you are interested please sign up by visiting our website at https://sites.google.com/site/windsorlocksheritageday/. The last day to register for the event is May 16th. Local vendors that have signed up will be hearing back from students in the next week or so with information regarding the day.

Entertainment: The entertainment section of the day is filling up fast. We are happy to announce that Milestone Entertainment will be providing music and announcements for the event. We also will have several live performances outside in the middle school fields by the schools, and local performers. The Windsor Locks Fire and Police will also be bringing down vehicles for a Touch-A-Truck opportunity.

The amount of support from local business, business officials, and the schools have been spectacular and has spoken volumes to the students who have been working so hard to make this event great!
