You may have missed the parade at the Bridgewater Country Fair 2016, but that doesn't mean you have to miss out on the fair fun! The parade was tonight, my daughter and I went and boy did we enjoy it! I don't think I have been to the parade in ... 30 years? Oh my, has it been that long? I know it was when my girls were young. What was I thinking? The parade was wonderful. All those fire trucks, fire fighters, emt's, marching bands, and don't let me forget the bagpippers! I love, love, love bagpipes! It is something when you think about what they do for us each and every day. I did take photos with my phone and put together a video. I know it is a bit long, but how do you cut anyone out of the parade? Tomorrow is back to the fair. If you are still on the fence about going, you better get... 08/19/2016

65th Annual Bridgewater Country Fair, Bridgewater, CT August 19th - 21, 2016! The raffle tickets are just waiting for you!!!Winning the grand prize would be fantastic, winning any of the other prizes would be great too! But why haven't you purchased your raffle tickets yet? I was thinking the other day how important our Volunteer Fire Departments are. Supporting them is equally important. Oh, you don't live in Bridgewater, so there is no need? Well, I beg to differ! A fire on Bonnie Vu Lane in New Milford recently was a tragedy.  The house burned to the ground and the family lost all their possessions, but they do live to tell the story. As painful as it is, things are replaceable, people are not.It could have been much, much worse. Thanks to not only the New Milford's Water Witch and N... 06/26/2016

The real estate market in Bridgewater shows no sign of improvement For the month of June 2013 there were no single family home sales in Bridgewater, CT. For those living in Bridgewater this must be of concern, and for those trying to sell their homes it has to be very distressing news. What went wrong? Since January 1 of 2013 there have been only 2 sales. I can't answer the question as to why, especially when Roxbury and Washington are both posting single family sales in the month of June. Because they are in the same school district and share school services I feel those 2 towns are best to use as comps for Bridgewater. The long and short of the answer is, I don't know. Bridgewater is beautiful, a very picturesque rural Connecticut town. There are some great deals there with homes at b... 07/08/2013
