Between Rounds: How It All Began. In 1990, Between Rounds had its start in Vernon, Connecticut when The Bagel Stop opened. This first store, owned by Jerry Puiia, was patterned on a store that Jerry’s dad (Vito) and his brother (Joe) owned in Hoboken, New Jersey. One year later, Jerry and his brother opened a second Bagel Stop in South Windsor, Connecticut. Since the beginning, the Puiia brothers have manufactured and sold their own bagels, a hallmark which really sets them apart from other cafés. Between Rounds has been in business for over twenty years, and the franchise prides itself on recognizing and embracing change as it occurs. During those past years, numerous changes were made from changing the name to “Between Rounds” to developing the correct franchise look that would fit anywhere in the country. All locations offer free wi-fi for customers, who are welcome to bring their laptops and enjoy a leisurely meal. The menu has expanded from fresh, homemade bagels, to offer wraps, panini sandwiches, salads, espressos, lattes, cappuccinos, and many other unique and sumptuous items. In addition to modern, comfortable interiors with the atmosphere of an upscale bakery sandwich café, Between Rounds also offers our customers the convenience of a drive-thru window for when they’re on-the-go.

Why DJ Derek? Derek “DJ Derek” Egerman has been a professional DJ for 20+ years. He insists on every wedding and party to be fresh and special, and takes on each event as if it's the only one he has on his calendar. In addition to those special event dates, DJ Derek stays current by consistently picking up gigs in the area’s hottest clubs and bars, such as The Russian Lady, The Rocking Horse Saloon, the various regional Wood ‘N Taps and Vaughan’s. You may find him on a float in the Hartford St. Patrick’s Day Parade, at the Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Casinos, or even at a college or professional sporting event. DJ Derek was voted Best DJ by The Hartford Advocate and was featured several times on “The Knot.” Weddings are certainly a specialty. “I believe the focus of a wedding truly should be on the bride and groom, and their family and friends, “ says DJ Derek. “I’m not there to ‘perform’ or do ‘a show.’ My job is to help set the scene.” As a musician from a young age, DJ Derek is open to every genre of music. “It’s my job to give the client exactly what they want,” says Derek. “Although I do like just about everything, in the end it’s not my opinion that really matters. I don’t understand when I hear about other DJ’s not playing what the client wants. That’s nuts!.” But don’t expect your parent’s wedding reception when you choose DJ Derek for your special day. “There’s so much good music out there,” says Derek. “Why just rely on the cheesy traditional stuff?” “I will happily play whatever the client wants,” says Derek. “But I see no reason to only rely on the standards- unless that’s what you are looking for- and then I’m fully on board- the client is the boss. Period.” Finally, when you hire DJ Derek, you get DJ Derek. You meet with and have full access to him directly. Only DJ Derek will work your event- don’t get stuck with a stranger on your special day. Call today to reserve your date! It’s your day- Get exactly what you want- Period.

Hi! I'm Kim and I love traveling from cruising to camping. I started my journey by going to The Travel Institute and passing my National Travel Agent Proficiency Test and by obtaining my CTA (Certified Travel Associate).

I specialize in cruising due to my understanding of cruise ships from onboard dining(Included to Specialty), activities(bumper cars to water slides), Theater shows (from Cats, Mamma Mia to Grease to name a few), Staterooms (Interior,Ocean View, Balcony and Suites), and what it's like to be on board (from morning to night). This will help me find a cruise that would work for you. I love that cruising gives you an opportunity for an adventure at every port. I'm very excited to share that with all of you. If cruising is not for you I can help you find your bucket list or dream vacation. (All-Inclusive, Train, or Guided Tours). Let's go explore the world together. In addition I have earned my Master's of Adventure with Royal Caribbean; Commodore status on Princess & Cunard; College of Disney Knowledge; Ama Waterways; Viking, Aruba & Hawaii Certified Expert; to name a few.

Ellington’s Agway: Three Generations & Growing In 1928 Werner Kupferschmid went to work for the Ellington Vernon Farmers Exchange unloading 100-pound bags of grain. His hard work and determination led to a promotion, and in 1936, the young Kupferschmid became manager. He and his wife, Clara, who took care of the bookkeeping and customer service, operated the business from their home and two-bay garage until 1950 – at which time the business was moved to a rail siding on Spring Street in Rockville. In 1968 the business moved to its present location on Route 83 in Ellington. As the nature of the region changed from agricultural to residential, the board of directors of the Ellington Vernon Farmers Exchange voted to liquidate the cooperative, and in 1972 the business was sold to the three sons of Werner Kupferschmid; Gene, Stuart and Wayne. Today, Agway is in its third generation of ownership. Cory and Grant Kupferschmid currently run the business with the guidance of their father, Wayne. The showroom boasts an incredible variety of Home and Garden needs. Product lines now include pet food and supplies, bagged feed, wild bird and lawn and garden supplies… just to name a few. Our friendly, knowledgeable sales staff is comprised of devoted family members, enthusiastic new-comers, and long-time employees – all here to assist you with your selections and to help load purchases in your car. As we move into the future, it is the goal of Ellington Agway to continue to as the Kupferschmids have for years. "This has always been a family business – Not only in the organization of the business, but in the way the business has been operated. We shall continue to treat the customer as if he were family and continue to give the customer a reason to come back here to shop." – Ellington Agway Mission Statement

Why did Hartford Habitat change its name Habitat for Humanity of North Central Connecticut? With our service territory expansion, we needed a name that appropriately reflected our connection to Hartford and Tolland counties as well as a regional approach; we will take going forward. We feel that Habitat for Humanity of North Central Connecticut (HFHNCC) achieves those objectives and accurately reflects our grassroots base in north central Connecticut. What does your expansion mean for activities in Hartford and Tolland County? Will you be relocating your offices? We are dedicated to serving both counties and are looking to grow our staff to appropriately support our programs and initiatives in these communities. For Hartford County, we have several home building and renovation projects lined up for 2022 including a ‘Build with Strength’ concrete home, the historic renovation of 315 Capitol Avenue, and four Zero Energy Ready homes in Windsor. For Tolland County, we are focused on getting the Vernon ReStore operational, introducing ourselves to the community, establishing partnerships, and broadening the scope of our services to be a resource for community members. We have not dedicated any resources to initiating building projects within Tolland County at this time. Our primary office will remain in Hartford. We will have an office space and dedicated resources for Tolland County operating out of the Vernon ReStore, which is located at 369 Talcottville Road in Vernon. What was the reasoning behind the expansion – and why now? It’s been proven through our decades of home building and community work that individuals and families thrive when they have a home in a safe and stable community. With the housing affordability crisis continuing to touch every area of our society, Habitat for Humanity of North Central Connecticut saw the opportunity and need to expand our footprint and services to include Tolland County. Our expansion allows us the opportunity to serve more families and to ensure that affordable homeownership is available throughout the state of Connecticut. How does the ReStore in Vernon fit into the organization’s plan? Habitat ReStores are home improvement and donation centers that sell new and gently used furniture, home accessories, building materials, and appliances to the public at a fraction of their retail price. Many who shop our store are new homeowners, DIY’ers, and those looking for great deals or unique finds. The store provides one way for the community to get acquainted with HFHNCC and our services. It will serve as our resource hub in Tolland County,and will eventually help fund homeownership programs in the area. The Bloomfield ReStore has sponsored a number of blighted properties in Hartford County.

I have started my blog and recorded our family’s ancestry through photos. I have requested that all generations of my family provide their stories, photos, and media for me to create the legacy of our heritage. I have developed a web presence at PRMemories.smugmug.com, and you can email me at media@prmemories.net or text your information to 860-993-7931.

TM Centrally located between N.Y., Boston & Heaven, you'll find yourself in a N.Y. state of mind as we welcome you into our bright, bustling restaurant and delicatessen to partake of our traditional Jewish deli fare. We'll greet you with crisp, garlic pickles and seat and serve you in a New York minute! Founded in 1972, Rein's Deli was the answer to the search for a good corned beef sandwich by Bob Rein, who with his wife Betty and brother Bernie, brought authentic New York Style Jewish deli to New England. There has, however, always been more to Rein's Deli than food alone. For many, we believe, it is also the deli experience that harkens back to a bygone era - simpler times, the heyday of neighborhood delicatessens and grocers and all the pleasant memories it evokes; of family, great food, sitting down together as a family to eat, and entertaining good friends. At Rein's Deli in Vernon you may indulge yourself with our homemade soups, mounds of savory hot pastrami and corned beef on rye, hand-cut lox layered on cream cheese laden bagels, crisp potato pancakes, knishes, delectable cheese blintzes and creamy hand made cheesecake from New York. And that's just a sampling of our enormous menu! Select your favorite deli meats, cheeses, salads, and smoked fish from our deli cases. We even have a frozen food section with some of our favorites packaged and ready to travel. And don't leave without taking a peek in our display case filled with the most heavenly homemade desserts. Any or all of our goodies are available to take home. We'll even cater your special occasion. So for those who know great deli, coming to Rein's Deli is like coming home.

The Wolff family history in insurance and financial planning began on April 1, 1954, when Thomas J. Wolff, a graduate in economics from the University of Connecticut, was licensed to sell insurance. He and his wife Bette lived in a small Cape Cod house where the first office of the Thomas Wolff Agency was in the attic. By 1967 the Agency, now named Wolff-Zackin due to the addition in 1963 of Arnold Zackin, CPCU, had moved to the brand new Vernon Professional Building near the old Vernon Circle (now Tri-City Plaza). Wolff-Zackin was one of the largest and fastest-growing independent multi-line insurance organizations in Connecticut, having achieved an amazing 500% increase in business in the prior six years. The biggest reason for their success was their motto, “Service Beyond the Contract”, which was patented in 1967 and embodied their day-to-day work ethic. In 1974, Tom’s eldest son, Gregory S. Wolff, CFP, joined the Agency to expand the life and financial planning practice. He was with the agency for 27 years and for much of that time served as Chairman and CEO of the Agency. On June 25, 1982, Wolff-Zackin and Associates moved into a building of their own at 135 Bolton Road in Vernon. The structure was set into a lovely New England hillside and combined a classical colonial exterior with a truly unique atrium in the center. After four years in the venture capital business, in 2000, Keith J. Wolff, CFP, CLU, Greg’s son and Tom’s grandson, began his career in the insurance and financial services business, becoming the third generation of the Wolff family business. Wolff-Zackin’s property/casualty and group health divisions were sold to Webster Bank in 2001, but Greg and Keith, maintained their own boutique financial planning and life insurance practice. Greg and Keith formed a partnership and became one of the leading producer groups in the country for life insurance and financial planning. Randi K. Saboski, WMCP, joined the firm as an advisor in 2010. Greg, Keith, Randi and their staff, currently occupy offices at 201 E. Center Street, Manchester, CT. All three of them believe that trust and integrity are the most critical components in any successful advisor-client relationship and are committed to these principles. Their objective is to provide innovative solutions to help their clients achieve their insurance and financial needs and to continue the more than 65-year Wolff family tradition of providing “Service Beyond the Contract”.

Meet the Your Local Wood Flower Florist Jennifer Angle is the owner and artist behind Wood & Word Blooms, a wood floral design studio in Coventry, CT, offering wood florals for weddings/events, gifts and decor as well as fun DIY Experiences in the studio and around CT. Jen began Wood & Word Blooms after she designed the wood flowers for her own wedding. Wood flowers are made from the natural pith of the Aeschynomene Aspera plant, which grows in tropical regions such as India and Thailand. The porous nature allows them to easily be painted or dyed and can even take in scent from essential oils. These flowers act as blank canvases for Jen to then design using different techniques from dip dying and hand painting to airbrushing and decoupaging. What began as a small part time gig doing small floral gifts and wood flower arrangement parties while she spent her days teaching reading quickly bloomed into a full time business. After 20 years as an educator, Jen has transitioned to full time professional wood flower florist, even leading the wood flower industry as a member of the Wood Flower Florist Conference & Retreat planning committee and Presenter. She prides herself on creating uniquely you florals that you can cherish long after a week or two. Clients are able to customize their arrangements by having their wood flowers in any style or any color at any time of year and they are a great option for those who have allergies or cannot have fresh flowers for any reason.
