Did you ring out the old and ring in the new?
I hope you did because this is the January 1, 2020 Greenwich, A Town For All Seasons Show on Radio 1490 WGCH and WGCH.Com anywhere.
Happy New Year! May your new year be filled with all the good things that make life worthwhile.
A Greenwich, Connecticut tradition since 1949, Kelsey Farm is one of the town's oldest equestrian farms in the backcountry. I grew up just down the road. With us on this first day of Year 2020 is Elise "Easy" Kelsey who is carrying on the farm into the 21st century.
The Kelsey Farm tradition continues! You'll hear a little about how the people of Greenwich enjoyed New Years Day 1903 at Ten Acres -a Mead farm that is now the campus of Greenwich High School. You'll also hear a humorous letter from 1894 about a epidemic of 'Snow Fever in Mianus' among the men there.
