Media Coverage

The media coverage of the Valley's All America City effort was quite extensive. We have compiled a sampling of some links to see what others have been reporting. In addition to the print media, television stations throughout the state gave full coverage to the effort before, during and after the competition.

There will be a special Valley All America City Insert in the Connecticut Post on Sunday, June 25. Hometown Publications will be doing a similar insert in their papers on Wednesday, June 28.

Tele-Media is also running a feature story in their "Valley Worthy of Note" series on Cable 10. They have also produced a 30 second congratulatory  spot which is running throughout their entire programming schedule.
