John,
I'm in Western CT just above Stamford. I'm not sure my Pre-restoration 65 BJ8
is worth a stop, but if you're in the area on a Saturday or Sunday, maybe we
can get a few members from the area to meet up at one of the local eateries.
Sunday brunches are big in the U.S.
I assume you are going up route 7. Great Choice!! The Housatonic is a great
ride. There's a Great Indian restaurant with a Sunday buffet, Thali, on route
7 north of Stamford, just south of Danbury. Just off 7 on 107 is the Redding
Road House. Good burgers and guinness on tap. Saturday afternoons local
collectors randomly show up. Just to mention two of a thousand places.
As for quilting, I don't know what's going on right now, but check out
http://www.kutztownfestival.com/ . I know it's in July, but the quilts are
amazing. Might be worth a trip back.
Do you, and any western CT listers, think it's worth a shot?
Greg
