Fourth Annual Candlewood Lake Canoe and Kayak Race

On September 26, 2010 Brookfield Parks and Recreation, The Housatonic Valley River Trail, and The Still River Alliance will be sponsoring the Fourth Annual Candlewood Lake Canoe and Kayak Race to benefit The Still River. Flatwater Canoe and Kayak racing is a contest of speed, strength and endurance in which participants compete head to head on calm bodies of water. The course is one mile long. There are Canoe and 14 Kayak Racing Divisions as well as a 2-mile Ironman Race. If you don’t have a canoe or kayak – don’t miss out – we can get you one to use. To get more information and a registration form email CCKRace@hotmail.com or look for the link on our website www.brookfield.org/pnr/index.htm.

Annual Scarecrow Decorating Day

If you’ve ever seen people driving around Town with scarecrows sticking out of their trunks, they were probably on their way home from this popular event! Join us on Saturday, October 2 at 2:00 p.m. in front of the Brookfield Town Hall, 100 Pocono Road. Please bring along old clothes (shirt and pants), string, scissors, a brown bag or sack for the head and whatever accessories you would like to decorate with. We’ll supply the directions, hay, and stakes. And best of all, it’s free! Don’t forget to pre-register with the Parks & Rec. Office by calling 775-7310 if you are planning on attending. The rain date for this event is Sunday, 10/3.

10 th Annual Trick or Treat at Town Hall

Parents and children (infants through grade 1) are invited to “trick or treat” at Town Hall this year on Friday, October 29. Older siblings are also welcome. Office doors will be decorated, and we will be passing out lots of candy! Please be sure to dress in costume and to bring your own candy bag to hold all of your treasures. There is no charge for this event. However, we are asking that each child bring either a non-perishable, “kid-friendly” food item such as peanut butter, jelly, canned spaghetti or ravioli for the food pantry or a monetary donation for the Brookfield Emergency Fund. The Emergency Fund is a non-tax dollar supported fund, which aids Brookfield families in crisis. The collection box for any items will be at the food pantry in Town Hall, across from the Town Clerk’s Office on the first floor. Please pre-register by calling Parks & Recreation at 775-7310 by October 27.
