Hay ride, No Ston. festivalHay ride, No Ston. festival

When we moved to North Stonington in 1984, it was still the quintessential southern New England farm town. Times, and the opening of the enormous Foxwoods gambling and entertainment complex in the 1990s, have certainly changed things, but while all too many of the farms have been turned into housing developments, a few remain intact, even growing, and the notion that we remain rural, even if this is no longer entirely true, is one we continue to embrace. So when the town decided to stage a get-together, it became a celebration of the harvest and the harvesters, and to make sure no one missed the message, there were non-stop hay rides up and down Main Street. The hay was local. So were the happy riders.
