Sunday & It is Good to be Home a Winner!
On Sunday morning a tired, but very happy band of delegates woke
up early to catch their plane home. Of course, they made sure that the coveted
All America City award was with them! A nearly three hour stop over in
Washington gave some the opportunity to visit the Washington Monument while
others stayed at the airport to eat.
Arrival in Hartford was chaotic and loud as chants of "We
are the Valley" stopped many travelers in their tracks. Following a
"media moment" with WVIT- TV, the delegates hopped on their bus for
the final leg of the trip back to Nolan Field in Ansonia. A police escort into
town was followed with a boisterous homecoming and more TV interviews with WTNH
and WTIC.
It was an exhausting, but very rewarding experience for everyone
involved.
