As smoke from Canadian wildfires drifted south, much of the East Coast was enveloped in an acrid haze.
After-school activities, sports games and practices, even the Democratic Town Committee’s al fresco get-together at Walrus Alley were canceled.
Most Westporters stayed indoors. Some ventured out, to take photos for “06880.” Here are a few:
