A Taste of Southington - 14th annual success - looking like a County Fair

Taste buds savoring, they came out in huge numbers on August 5, 2015.  Sponsored by Barnes Museum, "with a lot of help from a dozen local vendors, twenty volunteers and TD Bank's contribution of musical entertainment, face painting and the signing publicity of Sign Pro, so many came flocking to this event", said Barnes Museum Director, Marie Secondo, "We are all absolutely thrilled at the crowds we drew from near and far."

They sat on the grass, on lawn chairs and stood, elbow to elbow at times, enjoying the variety of tastes proffered by local restaurants all the while chatting, meeting, greeting and eating with gusto.


Don't need a thousand pictures to tell this story but here are a few sure to give you a sense of a great town event on a perfect day!
