Create a Card for a Soldier
Stop by Bart's Beanery on Tuesdays beginning July 13th from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm to make a card or write a letter for our men and women in war zones. Words from home are appreciated by our soldiers and REALLY make a difference.
Not only will you be making a soldier very happy but each child that makes a card or writes a letter will receive a FREE small icecream cone (one per customer).
These cards and letters will be sent in boxes through an ongoing program sponsored by WIN-TV called "Send Hometown Windsor to our Troops". Each month a package is sent to Windsor and Windsor related troops full of food, toiletries and needed items. For more information visit the WIN-TV website at www.win-tv.com

A Top-Down Drive In Connecticut
Pick up your rental convertible and head to Bart's Drive-In Restaurant on the Farmington River in Windsor. Owned by Windsor Mayor Don Trinks, this 60-plus-year-old roadside wonder is the spot for burgers, shakes and fried fish with a view.
"Bart's is a nostalgic place," says Trinks, who owns two convertibles, a 1972 Pontiac and a 2001 Chrysler Sebring. "You order at the counter and can sit in your car to eat or find a bench and watch the boaters on the river. You can't beat the setting."
Cruise nights (informal gatherings of vintage and souped-up cars) are held twice weekly, and some folks enjoy an after-diner stroll on the Windsor Center River Trail, a mile-long paved loop near the restaurant. At Bart's, Trinks says, nobody will squeal on you if you indulge in a large order of curly fries.
"We're our own little Vegas," says Trinks. "What happens at Bart's, stays at Bart's."
Open Year Round
The Beanery Bistro and Bart's Drive-In have teamed up to provide an eclectic menu that is sure to please a family with a diverse set of culinary tastes.
