PUTNAM — First Fridays, the monthly street arts fair and festival in downtown Putnam, was well attended during its lat- est event on Friday, Aug. 2. The theme for this month’s street fair was “Sound of Music,” as visual and musi- cal artists mingled with epicurean delights on the street. The jug band “K.C. Moaners” performed. The lawn of the Congregational Church was decorated with artistically designed umbrellas. A dance troupe from The Complex Performing Arts Center showed its stuff and there was a demonstration by Quest Martial Arts from Putnam.

I thank our federal partners and appreciate the work the leaders of these communities are doing,” said Gov.

The 2014 Chevrolet Impala has become a head turner for the right reasons. In the past you would turn your head away because of boredom. Now you turn and admire it.

The 2014 Chevrolet Impala starts at $27,535, well equipped, all the way up to $36,580 for the top-of-the-line model (that can hit $39,000 with options).

In the past I have said I could drive a Toyota Avalon for the rest of my life and be content (for numerous reasons). However, after a two-day experience with the 2014 Chevrolet Impala I might be tempted to change my way of thinking.
