HERE’S THE SCOOP…
YOUR SUMMER JUST GOT BETTER WITH GLENBROOKE
We have been spreading the news about one of our favorite summer spots for a couple of years now, but things just keep getting better and more popular with kids and parents at Glenbrooke Outdoor Sports Center on the Glastonbury/East Hartford line. They are now offering payment plans for the always affordable deluxe 8-week Drop Off Day Camp Program. It's 35 hours per week of fun ALL. DAY. LONG. for kids and it's only $299 per week. Or, if you are new to Glenbrooke and just want a spot to cool off and swim with the fam, their new $500 Introductory Family Fun Pass (new families only) is a summer steal (they are also offering a weekend-only option for $350). Looking to teach the super littles to swim? They have red-cross certified evening swim lessons for $225 for ALL 6 WEEKS (jaw drop). In addition, they have pickleball, jump rope, basketball, soccer, arts & crafts, games, and more. Check out the pictures to see the grounds and all the good times families have been having without you (wink)! OR...click the links below learn more about it all.

PORTLAND QUARRY SITE TO BECOME NORDIC SPA
We know it's not Glastonbury, but it's close enough and certainly interesting enough to mention...there is a Nordic Spa coming to a quarry site just over the line at 311 Brownstone Avenue in Portland. The property was owned by a couple who restored the land to its natural beauty (BIG love to them) and are in the process of selling it to a company out of Canada. Pomeroy Lodging is a family-owned company which plans to transform the site into a Nordic spa and wellness center that will operate year-round. According to The Middletown Press, the spa will include a two-story bathhouse, bistro, outdoor patio, heated pedestrian walkways, steam rooms, salt hydrotherapy, a pool, fire pits, barrel saunas and more. We think there is no place like this in the state so BRING. IT. ON! Check out the renderings and photos of the site below. STUNNING.
ODDS & ENDS...

*The town approved a proposal from the historical society for events at The Welles-Shipman House in South Glastonbury. What a GORG spot for intimate weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and more!
*We reported on this a long time ago, but people keep asking on Facebook about the lot next to Bruegger's since it's under construction. It's going to be a PeoplesBank. Now you know.
