Swimming Pool Work Progressing Nicely

As previously noted, considerable work was required on almost all public pools in the US, due to recent federal legislation. The fine folks from Rizzo Pools (based in Newington CT) have been here all week with jackhammers, concrete, new drain covers, safety release valves and more. Just this morning, we were able to begin filling a hot tub, and are currently filling the adult sports pool as well. It looks quite likely that we will have at least one hot tub, and perhaps a pool, open by Saturday. Work will continue on the other pools (the kiddy pool actually needed the most intensive construction, adding a whole new second drain), and we expect the diving pool to open next weekend, and the L Pool and Kiddy Pool to be ready by Carnival Weekend (May 15). A reminder that if we are able to open the Adult Pool on Saturday, it will be available for use by all ages. However, those under 21 will need to have a parent present within the pool area, and the hot tubs are for adults 21 and over only. The pool will be very cold, as the water comes straight from our wells. With the recent hydro-seeding at the ballfield, we are switching softball to wiffleball for this weekend. Also, on a sad note, Flo (who runs the Grill and Creamery with Joyce, as well as owning Kitchen Little) saw the passing of her mother on Tuesday. Services are Friday in Mystic.

Speaking of upstairs, while it looks like the Oldies concerts will be upstairs, if the weather is good (dry and warm), we may try for the outdoor stage downstairs. The good news is that it appears most of the gnats have come and gone, at least to the extent of their numbers last weekend. Please remember to bring your classic car if you have one...and you will receive a $25 credit on your account for joining the display Saturday evening from 6:15PM to 7PM (we will also present the Karaoke Contest at the car show).
