In Sight

A group of cub scouts hang on their “home base” during a game of tag at  Pack 48′s “Hitting Home 2010″ Cub Scout Charity Hit-A-Thon at Bobby Valentine’s Sports Academy in Stamford, Conn. on Saturday, Jan. 23,  2010.  The event was a benefit for the Stamford Police Department’s Rescue Bear Program.

I have never covered the Annual MLK March in Stamford before, so I guess even going into my seventh year at the Advocate, there still are some firsts.

The weather was beautiful, the marchers were in good spirits and there were a lot of familiar faces in the crowd – including former Police Chief Brent Larrabee who is sporting a goatee now that he is no longer in uniform.
