CLEANING CREW
By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
SOUTHINGTON — A husband and wife who recently opened a thrift shop hope to offer hidden treasures to customers looking for a deal on unique or antique items. Garrett and Diana Henry opened their shop Hidden Treasures at 1656 MeridenWaterbury Turnpike last month. They’re marketing to customers who enjoy the hunt, saying there’s something different in the store every week.

“You can find anything,” Diana Henry said. “We’ve got things from all over the place. You will never know what you will get.”
In celebration of Earth Day, state Rep. Francis Rexford Cooley and a group of volunteers assembled to cleanup debris and litter around the boat launch at Hamlin Pond in Plainville. “As encouraging as it is to get so much cleaned up, it’s disappointing that it was there,” Cooley stated.
