Adam Minor photos EASTFORD — The sun was shining on Eastford Saturday, June 15, as the town held its annual Heritage Day celebration, filled with food, games, a moon bounce, historical exhibits, karaoke, a flag retirement ceremony,and local vendors showing off their wares. A dunk tank was also set up behind the gymnasium to benefit the Recreation Commission by offering opportunities to dunk First Selectman Alan Platt, Fire Chief Gordon Spink Jr., and others. In the center of town, Bowen’s Garage held an antique car show, while Coriander held a craft fair. Near the end of the event, the Eastford Independent Fire Co. set up a sprin- kler for the kids to cool off and enjoy.
