All but one of the state's major swimming areas that are tested regularly during the summoner season will be open for the long labor Day weekend, officials from the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said on Thursday.
Ironically, the one swimming area not open is at Mashamoquet Brook State Park in Promfret. The northeast corner of the state is popular this weekend because of the Woodstock Fair.
DEEP officials said the reason was "poor water quality."
Attached is the water quality report issued by the DEEP on Thursday.
Most Swimming Areas are Open This Weekend
Mashamoquet is the lone exception out of those that are tested.

It is sad that you have to perpetuate the negativity that has plagued an otherwise wonderful school…Read More district. If you think that Vernon is in the "Bottom 30" because for the last 2 weeks your child has done nothing but watch movies, that is even sadder. However I do have this question for you, how do you know that is all they have done? Have you called the teacher and asked him or her? I have always found that at times what my child has said is exaggerated. I like to talk to the adult before just taking the word of my child. Maybe they are watching them part of the day which I am sure happens in any district, even ones in the top 20, at the end of the school year. However, if you are not happy with Vernon there are other options out there, instead of slamming your school system through media.

Very interested in this dining set. What is the asking price and when can I take a look?
