BROOKLYN — We may be a few months away from the Brooklyn Fair, but the Brooklyn Fairgrounds was still the place to be from June 3-5, as Brooklyn Ag Days returned, providing a glimpse into local agriculture and providing hands-on activities and booths for all to enjoy. From a tractor pull to animal competitions, vendors, and even a rodeo, Brooklyn Ag Days provided a little glimpse of everything when it comes to the country way of living and proved to be a perfect precursor to the much larger sister event, the Brooklyn Fair, that is still to come in late August.

The school has a couple of dogs that attend daily and Veronica enjoys seeing and patting them when allowed. Veronica loves playing with her iPod and listening to her music. She is the first person to be dancing to the songs at adoption parties. Veronica, like most teenagers, is longing for a cell phone with Wi-Fi on it. Her favorite TV show is ‘Sponge Bob’ and she loves watching movies. Veronica loves to laugh at comedy movies and her laugh is infectious! Veronica will often coordinate her outfits to match, all the way down to the hair elastics in her hair. She had watched her American Girl Dolls get their hair done at the local store and has since tried the styles on her own hair. Veronica would do best in a single or two-parent female family, without other children, or with older female children.

Villager sports BSection “If it’s important to YOU, it’s important to US” www.VillagerNewspapers.com Killingly captures state golf championship

BY CHARLIE LENTZ VILLAGER SPORTS EDITOR WATERTOWN — Three years ago coach Kevin Marcoux welcomed a group of freshmen to the golf team who had a dream that seemed far-fetched for a Killingly High program that had never won a state championship. Connor Fillmore was perhaps the most unlikely dreamer — with a game in dire need of polish. “In his freshmen year, quite honestly, he was not even close to a varsity play- er,” Marcoux said. “He was not even really a good player.” Countless practice shots later Fillmore made himself into the var- sity player that led Killingly’s charge on Monday at Crestbrook Park in Watertown — firing a team-best four- over-par 75 to lead the Redmen to the gold medal at the Division III State Golf Championships. Fillmore finished third among all individual golfers at the D-III tournament on June 6. “To watch Connor, to see how far he’s come in four years, his 75 resulted in him being an All-State player, so that was very remarkable,” Marcoux said. Fillmore is Killingly’s No.-3 golfer and he fashioned a top-flight finish when it mattered most. “It was huge. His ability adds so much depth on our team, ” Marcoux said. “I tried to figure out how any other team could have a better No.-3 player and as it turned out they didn’t.” Fillmore’s fellow Killingly seniors, John Aitken and his twin brother, Drew Aitken, were close behind. John Aitken shot a 76, which tied him for fourth place and Drew Aitken fired a 79, good for a ninth-place tie. “In the scheme of things, John played great and Drew was not going to be happy with a 79, but in a team event it was good enough for us to win,” Marcoux said.
