Month: April 2024

Barn Tag Sale Open Thursday, April 18 to Sunday, April 21 @ Keeler Tavern

The Barn Tag Sale at Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center (KTM&HC) is back and better than ever! Our historic carriage barn will feature 1,250 square feet of bargains on April 18-21 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.

The Barn Tag Sale is a popular community event that directly supports KTM&HC, with all profits benefitting the upkeep and preservation of the museum’s various historic buildings. The sale will feature furniture, china, toys, housewares, antiques, collectibles, rugs, and more. The museum appreciates event organizers Rhonda Hill and Hilary Micalizzi, both longtime KTM&HC supporters and past presidents, and their team of dedicated volunteers, who are donating their time and energy to make this event possible.

Shoppers will find gently used items to suit every taste. Items are priced to move, so shop early for the best selection. The Barn Tag Sale will take place rain or shine, and parking and admission are free.

Make a day of it! Pack up your purchases and head over to the Visitor Center to purchase tickets for a tour of the museum, where historically interpreted rooms immerse visitors in the site’s history from the early 1700s through the turn of the 20th century.

Bradley International Airport gearing up for busy travel period

The Connecticut Airport Authority (CAA) is getting ready for a busy period of travel at Bradley International Airport (BDL) as passengers take to the skies for April vacations. Between April 3 to 14, it’s estimated that more than 125,000 people will depart from BDL – with the busiest travel times between 4am to 7am. If you are traveling in the coming days, especially with children, here are some travel tips to make your journey through BDL smooth and convenient:

Leave yourself plenty of time

During this busy travel period plan to arrive inside the airport’s terminal for check-in with your airline and to go through the TSA security checkpoint at least 90 minutes before your flight.

Don’t forget about parking

Passengers can check parking availability before arriving at the airport by visiting the airport’s website. Digital message boards will also be available on-site and will direct you to open lots upon arrival at the airport. Click HERE for additional details about BDL’s parking options.

Avoid potential lines, order your food ahead of time

BDL Market allows you to pre-order and pick up your meal from a growing list of airport restaurants so you don’t have to wait in line. BDL Market does not require downloading an app. To browse menus, order, and pay, simply visit http://www.BDLMarket.com.

Pack your liquids appropriately

The TSA does have restrictions on the amount of liquids you can bring through the security checkpoint in your carry-on. There are exceptions, such as medically-necessary liquids, and baby/toddler drinks and food. For additional details about TSA screening, click HERE. If you do need to refill water bottles after going through the TSA security checkpoint, there is a water filling station in both of BDL’s concourses. One is near gate 4 and the other is near gate 23.
