Every Friday in The Feed Kevin talks to Megan from CampByMama.com about all the great things to do in Connecticut with the family. This weekend they cover everything from polo and Strawberry picking to ballet and getting dirty in the mud.
KEVIN’S PICK
Catherine’s Butterfly Party, a FREE family festival with super pet adoption event on Saturday, June 11th from 12-4pm at Fairfield Hills Campus in Newtown, CT. This incredible community event, hosted by the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary, celebrates the life of sweet Catherine Hubbard, a devoted animal lover who lost her life during the Sandy Hook Tragedy. The annual butterfly party welcomes thousands every year and features hundreds of adoptable animals from 25+ rescues, live wildlife ambassador demonstrations, pet-related vendors, local artisans, food trucks, live music, entertainment and endless activities for kids. We’ll be there and hope you will be too!
