A frosty celebration at the Connecticut Old State House

CT state troubadour, Nekita Waller

The Connecticut Old State House celebrated its 2019 winter party on Thursday, Dec. 12, to promote community participation and to spread the culture and history in the Capital city. Boceto Media and members of the community attended the event, including children who had the opportunity to dance and take pictures with Chew Chew, the Hartford Yard Goat’s mascot.

The magical part of the night was thanks to the melodious voice of Nekita Waller, and her band, who made all the attendees dance on the holiday’s festivities.

Famous authors Susan Campbell, and Diane Smith were present to share times with their fans and to sign their most recent books, “Frog Hollow” (Susan), and "A Connecticut Christmas" (Diane).

Executive director Sally Whipple welcomed the community and expressed her happiness to all the attendees.
