The SVIA and OCCC are partnering to place coordinated flower pots in the borough this spring.  The attractive plantings will create an inviting environment for visitors and locals alike. Contributing to the charm of the borough, the flowers encourage people to stroll about and explore the great shops and restaurants.  

Check out Fusion bodypainting event at the Velvet Mill on Friday, May 10 where local establishments serve sample foods and beverages and the band Sugar performs live.  The event is set against a backdrop of 14 professional artists bodypainting elaborate designs on volunteer models. Many of the Mill shops and restaurants are open for business and 21 years of age minimum is required to attend.  

With over 25 more Stonington businesses joining the OCCC in the last 5 weeks, you can expect even more economic activity and promotion!  Be sure to follow us on facebook and Instagram.  Oceanchamber.org.
