Welcome to Norfolk, Connecticut

The threat of rain did not deter the Norfolk Library Associates from celebrating their 50th anniversary last Sunday with a spirited street fair in Station Place.

A swimming lesson schedule will be announced soon—possibly within the week— according to Josh DeCerbo, administrator of Tobey Pond beach.

Tobey Pond, the town beach, now has a handsome new changing room for swimmers, sponsored by the Lions Club.

Guerrera Construction returned to town and put the final course of paving on Maple Avenue this week.

Bad things often come in threes. As if the hot weather were not enough, now the Great Mountain Forest weather station has lost its connection to Weather Underground.

Work on Maple Avenue has temporarily ground to a halt because Guerrera Construction has been called away to work at the Danbury Airport.

The Norfolk Library Associates will continue its 50th anniversary celebration Sunday, June 23, with a Street Fair at Station Place from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. 

Permits for the Transfer Station and Tobey Pond are on sale starting Monday, June 3rd. Permits may be obtained in person at the Town Clerk’s office during normal business hours, Monday through Thursday 9:00 a.m. to noon, 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., or by mail. There is also a locked mailbox on the front porch where applications with checks can be deposited. Application available here.

Dog licenses must be renewed by June 30 through the Town Clerk’s office.
