Exciting Family-friendly Events at the Sustainability Fair

The Sustainability Fair returns to the Simsbury Public Library on May 2 with resources for adults and activities for young people.&nbsp; The Sustainability Fair will start at 10 a.m. and run through 2 p.m.&nbsp; 34 different vendors and organizations will participate in this event sponsored by the Simsbury Public Library and Simsbury Sustainability Committee, and co-sponsored by the Avon Clean Energy Commission and the Bloomfield Conservation, Energy and Environment Committee.

The Fair provides opportunities for participants to learn about conserving and enjoying local natural habitats: our rivers (Lower Farmington River and Salmon Brook Wild and Scenic), our forests and open spaces (Simsbury Land Trust, the Sierra Club, Trees for Bloomfield, Pollinator Pathway), and our walking and biking trails (Farmington Valley Trails Council).&nbsp; The Fair offers opportunities to buy plants and learn about home gardening with Holcomb Farm, Thrive Farm, and Levo International.&nbsp; Free seeds for your garden will be provided by the Bionutient Food Association.

Young people can engage in the Simsbury Land Trust’s nature walk at 10:30 a.m., see Auer Farm's rabbits and goats, upcycle books with the Simsbury Public Library, plant seeds with the Avon Clean Energy Commission, and earn prizes with the library’s sustainability calendar.&nbsp; Children’s author Kim Haidinger will display her climate-oriented&nbsp; books.

Participants can benefit&nbsp; from energy-efficient resources like better insulation and heat pumps (New England Smart Energy), better windows, (Inner Glass), solar and storage (Earthlight Solar), sustainable architecture (Wolfworks) and recycling and reusing (Blue Earth, ReThink Disposable, and Clynck).

The Sustainability Fair is free and open to the public.

Secret Supper Society: An Evening of Fine Dining &amp; Impossible Magic
Step into a hidden world where elegance meets the unexplainable.
The Secret Supper Society is not just a dinner—it’s an experience.
Guests will enjoy a refined, multi-course dining experience in an intimate setting, paired with astonishing, up-close magic and mentalism performed just inches away. This is not stage magic. This is interactive, impossible, and deeply personal.
Throughout the evening, you won’t just watch the magic… you’ll feel it.
Expect moments that spark laughter, disbelief, and genuine connection as reality bends right in front of you.
This is an experience designed for those who appreciate the finer things—exceptional food, great company, and unforgettable moments.
Seating is extremely limited to preserve the intimacy of the evening.
If you’re looking for something different… something elevated… something you’ll be talking about long after it ends—
This is your invitation.UPDATE: These shows have been sold out. We'll keep everyone posted on further dates. We look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday night.

We’re excited to invite students in&nbsp;grades 4–7&nbsp;to campus for&nbsp;S.P.A.R.K.—a free, hands-on&nbsp;morning of discovery&nbsp;at Kingswood Oxford on&nbsp;Saturday, May 16.
S.P.A.R.K.&nbsp;stands for&nbsp;Science. Play. Action. Research. Knowledge,&nbsp;and that’s exactly what the morning is all about. Students will dive into interactive labs, ask big questions, and explore how science connects to the world around them.
Throughout the morning, students will rotate through all three engaging sessions:
Snack Science: Cracking the Code of Carbs, Fats &amp; Proteins
Students will test everyday foods to uncover the building blocks of life - carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.
From Cabbage to Chemistry: A Color-Changing Exploration of pH
Using red cabbage as a natural indicator, students will experiment with acids and bases and watch chemistry come alive in vibrant color.
Air Apparent: The Invisible Force All Around Us
Through hands-on experiments, students will explore the properties of air—and discover just how powerful something invisible can be.
