On October 18th, residents on this side of town, including district State Representative Mark Anderson (R-62), showed up to support First Selectman Candidate Selectman Nick Lukiwsky, and his running mate for the BOS, Mark Mahoney, at the roadhouse bar and cafe “The Brass Horse.” Lukiwsky is unopposed. Owner Kim Hamel put out a delicious pot of New England Clam Chowder among some other appetizers for guests created by her cook. Barkhamsted Republican Town Committee’s Treasurer, Steven Blackburn, was on hand to make sure any proper papers were filled out for donations, along with Chairman, Juliana Simone. Thanks again to balloon artist, Shelley Thibault, for putting up some festive decorations for the occasion.

The Riverton Fair, traditionally the last fair held in the state, changed their dates to mid-October to remain so in terms of title. Friday, October 13th kicked off the event with great turnout from locals. State Senator, Lisa Seminara (R-08), and State Representative, Mark Anderson (R-62), came out to show their support for First Selectman candidate BOS member, Nick Lukiwsky, and BOS candidate Mark Mahoney.
Predicted rain held back throughout Saturday and Sunday, allowing fair goers a good time in autumn weather. The Barkhamsted RTC booth had many visitors over the weekend, from Governor Ned Lamont who attended the fair with his wife, to retiring long-serving FS Don Stein. Other notables were former State Representative Tim LeGeyt, former Barkhamsted BOS Bill Downes, retired businessman John Lavieri (Sterling Engineering), Winsted and Canton Republicans, along with area small business owners and town voters.
