When you ask a kid what they want to be when they grow up their response is never the same the second time. “When I was little, I always said I wanted to be a flower girl, but then I realized the people who sold flowers were called florists.

This week we have started layout for the March issue, which is expected to come out on Thursday, March 24. Busy as we are managing pages 1, 2, 3 and 4, we have been finding time over the last week to expand multimedia. Last Saturday, we filmed and photographed the St. Baldrick’s event hosted by the New Canaan Fire Company, where benefactors of children’s cancer had their heads shaved. We are planning on featuring a photo from this event on the front page.
