Our Magical Community Event

Halloween comes but once a year, but Rye gets in the spirit early thanks to Rye Rec. For the 59th year, they invited children to conjure up witches, goblins, and more on storefront windows. Six-hundred participants descended in and around town, and, a few days later, the spirit remained strong in Indian Village!

The Rye High School Parsons Street Players put on a poignant production of Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town” the weekend of October 22. Staying true to the original spare staging of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play, they used chairs, tables, and ladders to portray everyday existence.

This is a fairy tale, not the fictional variety; this actually happened. And like a good fairy tale, it has a moral.

Like magic, with the wave of a shovel you can make or save money. Contrary to the popular misnomer, money does grow on trees — and plants, and not just marijuana plants.

With the arrival of autumn, we rush to put away our light and bright-colored clothing and bring back out our collection of brown, burgundy, red and, orange attire.

Ralph Borsella and his Rye Allstate staff talked about the dangers of texting while driving during a recent visit to Port Chester High School, as part of the agency’s national “X the TXT” campaign. Students added their thumbprints to an oversized banner as symbols of their promises not to text and drive, and pledged to put their cell phones down and focus on the road. The event was organized by the Port Chester Cares Community Coalition and Open Door Family Medical Centers.
