Cheshire Fall Festival promises food fun and fireworks

Cheshire officials provided updates on community events and infrastructure improvements during a recent government meeting. The highly anticipated Cheshire Fall Festival is set to take place this weekend, featuring food trucks, music, and a carnival, with fireworks scheduled for Saturday evening. Due to ongoing construction, parking will be limited, and attendees are encouraged to utilize alternative transportation methods, including carpooling and biking.

In infrastructure news, the State Department of Transportation has confirmed that milling and paving on Route 10 is expected to commence this week, with considerations made to avoid disruptions during the festival. Additionally, several local roads are scheduled for chip sealing starting September 11.

The meeting also highlighted the upcoming Brastity Harvest Mobile Farmers Market at the Cheshire Senior Center, which will occur on September 16 and October 9. The market will accept various payment methods, including EBT and senior nutrition program debit cards, offering a range of locally sourced produce and products.

Furthermore, renovations are underway to enhance the audio-visual capabilities of the meeting room, funded by a recent grant. New displays and a control system will improve the experience for both in-person attendees and those watching remotely, making presentations more accessible.

These developments reflect the town's commitment to community engagement and infrastructure improvement, ensuring residents are informed and involved in local events and initiatives.
