| MARCH 6, 2024 -- Phase one of our historic Granby Grange Hall renovation project is almost completed thanks to a generous donation from the Pomeroy-Brace Fund at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving. Funds were used to construct a new handicapped porch, ramp, and entrance to the Grange Hall and a new unisex bathroom on the main floor. Our contractor was Wutka Home Improvements who did an awesome job. In the spring, new vegetation will be planted around this new enhancement thanks to Lisa and Todd Vibert. In addition to the Pomeroy-Brace funding, this project was partially funded by Carol Innes in loving memory of her mother Lila Innes, the Dave Roberts & Walter Oliver Living Trust, and the Connecticut State Grange Foundation.
Our next big fundraiser is our 2nd Annual Rubber Duck Race which will be held on Saturday, April 20 from 12 to 3 P.M. at Salmon Brook Park, 215 Salmon Brook Street, Pavilion 2, in Granby. Over $1,200 in prizes will be offered to the first ducks that cross the finish line. Proceeds will be used to fund preservation of our Grange hall. For tickets, please contact Dave Roberts at Granbydavidroberts@gmail.com or call 860-469-5067. Tickets are $5 to sponsor one rubber duck or $20 to sponsor FIVE rubber ducks! Good luck!
