Good morning, Fairfield County. The old saying "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is" has never been more relevant as scammers impersonate county officials demanding wire transfers and personal information. County Administrator Aundrea Cordle has issued an urgent alert, reminding residents that legitimate county services never request payments through suspicious channels. When in doubt, contact county offices directly through official numbers – and never share financial details with unverified sources.
While scammers target our wallets, Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is targeting young minds – in the best possible way. Thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Fairfield County Foundation, over 66,000 free books have reached local children this year alone. And if literature isn't your weekend vibe, perhaps wine is? Manchester Hill Winery invites you to enjoy live music from Kingston Kings this Saturday night, complete with woodfired pizza, award-winning local wines, and a pet-friendly atmosphere.

📚 Free books bring joy to thousands of Fairfield County children. The Fairfield County Foundation granted $25,000 to support Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, providing books to children from birth to age 5. In 2024 alone, United Way distributed over 66,000 books to local families, with monthly deliveries now averaging 5,559 books. The funding helps cover rising costs of books and mailing for the program, which has been operating locally since 2012. Research shows reading together strengthens parent-child relationships and promotes early brain development, setting the foundation for school readiness.
