Our first Easter-related item of 2026 is from Wakeman Town Farm. Their family fun “EGGstravaganza” is Saturday, April 4 (10 a.m.).
The 10:30 hunt is followed by egg-themed games, story readings with the Westport Book Shop, and photo opps with Big Bunny. Guests can isit the farm animals too.
There are treats for the kids, and coffee for adults, from The Granola Bar, Sweet P Bakery, and Danna Rogers and Jen Kass Team at the Higgins Group.

Speaking of spring: Temperatures are inching up. There’s a whiff of the new season in the air.
But all around town, snow piles remain.
And because they were dumped or pushed there after the first big snowstorm of the year, after which temperatures remained far below freezing for a week — and because tons of sand was used in the process — these big boys are not going anywhere soon.
Scott Smith spotted this one at the Imperial Avenue commuter parking lot. He writes: “Photos can’t convey just how big this snow field is. It’s gargantuan!”

The question is: Will it still be there when the Farmers’ Market opens, in mid-May?
I bet it won’t all be gone even then.

The national dish of Scotland is haggis.
If you’ve never enjoyed it, it’s a pudding made from sheep’s pluck (heart, liver, lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet and spices. It’s encased in a sheep’s stomach and boiled.
However, 12 Westport Scouts headed to a jamboree there in July have decided to not serve haggis at their fundraiser.
Instead, Troops 39 and 139 offer a pancake breakfast. It’s this Sunday (9 a.m. to 1 p.m., VFW post 399). The full pancake bar includes plenty of toppings, sausage, juice, coffee and tea.
There’s a free will donation; $10-15 per person, $35 per family is suggested.

Players from Jeff Lea’s first state championship team — and 3 others — were on hand Saturday night, as the winningest coach in Staples boys soccer history was inducted into the Connecticut Soccer Coaches Hall of Fame.
Lea co-coached with Albie Loeffler in 1970, then served as head coach from 1978 to 2002. He earned 5 state crowns and 12 FCIAC titles. He retired in 2002, compiling a 357-77-42 record.
Congratulations, Coach Lea!

Compo Beach is one of Westport’s most family-friendly places.
So what does it take to get it ready for the upcoming season?

And finally … speaking of Scotland (see Scouts story above):
(Whether ye take the high road or low road, we hope ye feel moved to click here to support our own wee blog. Thank ye kindly.)
When I was stationed at Griffiss AFB in Rome, NY back in the early 90’s that area used to get around 184″ of snow annually if I recall. Being an active SAC base where we needed to be operational 24/7, snow removal for the runways was critical. The result of this was the creation of massive mountains of snow (dwarfing what is in Dan’s photo) that would take many months to melt leaving behind man made ponds. Also, a hard pass on the haggis for me.
I had Haggis on my trip to Edinburgh back in 2003, and loved it. It is like eating a mix of sausage and meatloaf.
