What’s Up This Week, Stonington? It’s Not All About Thanksgiving

Monday, the Conservation Commission meets at 7 p.m. at Town Hall to, in part, take a look at a Mystic Aquarium application for a 13,00 square foot retail building with a 53-car parking lot. There is also a closed-door session of the Police Commission to discuss a personnel issue Monday at 5 p.m. at the police department and the Recreation Commission meet at 6 p.m. Monday at the Human Services building. Tuesday the Water Pollution Control Authority meets at 6 in the police station community room.

Wednesday’s First Selectmen’s meeting has been canceled.

Early dismissal at all schools Wednesday. The schedule is as follows: Stonington High School dismisses at 11:45 a.m.; Mystic and Pawcatuck middle schools dismiss at 12;25 p.m., all elementary schools dismiss at 1:10 p.m.; morning pre-schools dismisses at 10:55 and there is no p.m. pre-school.

Thursday is Thanksgiving. But up first is the always-exciting matchup between the (awesome) Stonington Bears and the Westerly Bulldogs for the annual Turkey Day Game. They’ve played it more than 100 times before, but this year on a brand new home turf at the SHS Donald E Palmer Field. Go Bears!

Don’t forget Saturday! Downtown Mystic is the place to be. Santa, shopping, tree lighting and lighted boat parade.
