“An Evening with Sylvia Browne”-renowned author & psychic, in the Fox Theater.

This week I discovered and wanted to pass along to you…there are a number of days each year (I believe 5-8) when you can drive the steam train at the Essex Steam Train and Riverboat for an hour for $500. Please contact the them at www.essexsteamtrain.com for the details. I thought this is a great idea and gift for the person who has everything and wants a new life experience or has an interest in steam trains…..

Remember we have banquet space for 800. When we have a banquet it doesn not mean there is waiting in the dining room. Our lobster special (Wed-Sun) and Prime Rib (All-You-Can-Eat Thurs), may not have a wait when it is banquet cars in the lot…..

Groton Inn and Suites is a bloom with spring colors. We have opened the horseshoe pit for the summer and the picnic area with picnic tables and two grills for our guest’s use. You can grill fresh fish, or a steak. Frequent guests may trade their “house money” for steaks for the grill……just a litlle extra for the repeat guests that want a grilled steak night!!!!

The Patio is Open for Spring Enjoy Your Early Morning Coffee and a Complimentary USA TODAY…….or Enjoy an Evening Cocktail Outside……

Reservations for May Graduations at the USCGA and CONNECTICUT COLLEGE are still coming in and there is still some limited space available.
