Mystic Day Parade!


Better late than never! The town of Mystic enjoyed beautiful sunny skies and a balmy 48 degree temperature as marchers and bands set off for the "last" St. Patricks day parade in Connecticut.
The crowds were out in full swing as families from all over the state came to enjoy the parade and all that Mystic Seaport has to offer. Special thanks to Center Groton Fire Department who really knew how to bring attention to "Mrs, Connecticut". I never knew how loud firefighters can be!
Once again, Loehman Blasius Chevrolet sponsored a beautiful Mitsubishi Eclipse Convertible for me to ride in. Thanks Guys!!!

Governor Rell Proclaims April as "Connecticut Volunteer Month"!

Mrs. Connecticut 2008 was on hand at the state Capitol in Hartford, to accept from State Representative Kevin Del Gobbo, Governor Jodi Rell's proclamation stating that the month of April will become "Connecticut Volunteer Month". Mrs. Piombo And Representative DelGobbo have been working together to create a higher awarness of National Volunteer Month.

By signing the proclamation and creating "Connecticut Volunteer Month", Governor Rell will give statewide organizations the opportunity to recognize and thank volunteers who work tirelessly to improve our communities, during the month of April.

Mrs. Piombo hopes that this proclamation will motivate others to volunteer their time and talent to help Connecticut's most vulnerable residents- the homeless, the hungry,the elderly, at risk youth and the disabled.

New Haven St. Patricks Day Parade!!!







What a great day in New Haven!
The sun was shining as the St. Patricks parade kicked off on a chilly and blustery day. Mrs. Connecticut got to ride in style with a new 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible sponsored by Blasius Chevrolet.


Over 200,000 people attended Connecticut's largest parade and huge smiles were everywhere! This was my first parade EVER, and it is a memory that I will cherish for a lifetime!





















Thank You to My sponsor~ Blasius Chevrolet

A HUGE Thank you goes out to Blasius Chevrolet for providing me with vehicles to use throughout my reign!

Mrs. Connecticut with Manager Jon Kelly
