VERNON
— - The final piece of the financial puzzle needed to restore
a derelict mill in Rockville appears to be in place.
Gov. M. Jodi Rell announced Wednesday that a $1.2 million grant
for work at the former Roosevelt Mills complex on East Main
Street will be on the State Bond Commission's Jan. 25 agenda.

2007
State Easter Eggs
The
2007 Easter Egg Collection continues the tradition that began in 1994
where each state sends a decorated egg to the White House for display.
Artists from across the United States created the decorated eggs, which
represent each state and the District of Columbia. Each year the artists
vote amongst themselves to select the artist to create the following
year's commemorative egg which is presented to the President and First
Lady. The collection is coordinated by the American Egg Board. White House
