Don’t be fooled by our snow-less winter. Fifth graders at Duffy School in West Hartford have a project for you: adopt your neighborhood fire hydrant. Sydney Anderson and Grace Faenza report:
We would like to continue to mark hydrants and recruit people to clear hydrants
next winter and beyond. “Helping the community is one of your biggest
jobs in your life,” said Grace Faenza a Duffy student who is excited
about going to Aiken on the 31st. If you would like to adopt a fire
hydrant and clear it of snow in the winter contact you local
elementary school and they will send you a certificate. For more information contact

These kids want you to stand up for fire hydrants!


The opening line “We would like to continue to mark hydrants and recruit people to” had all sorts of Sad City promise.
I thought Hartford was in for a rather unique yearly community art festival.
