Volunteering at the Parade Spectacular


Last year was my first year experiencing the energy of the UBS Parade Spectacular in Stamford Downtown and I could not believe excitement of everyone involved. We all know the Parade stars the 25 helium balloons, the specially designed floats, the marching bands and the dancers, however, the real stars of the Parade are the volunteers. It takes over 1000 volunteers to help put on this spectacular Parade and we thank them all. If you haven't had the opportunity to volunteer I would jump to it. Not only are you part of an amazing event that captivates the children and even puts smiles on the faces of the parents - you will have the time of your life. Our volunteers return each year because they truly enjoy the experience and want to be first on the list to be there. We offer volunteer positions for balloon handlers, clowns and route marshals and we train everyone. Contact the DSSD now for more information. Mark your calendars UBS PARADE SPECTACULAR, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23 AT NOON. Watch the balloons inflate the night before - Saturday, November 22 from 3 to 6.

Candy store treat



Have you ever been to Schakolad? It's a quaint little chocolate store at 172 Bedford Street. Yesterday, they celebrated their 5th anniversary here in Stamford. They were offering up a glorious day of chocolate, fun, discounts and prizes to help them celebrate. And being the party girl that I am, I ventured over there after work with some of my colleagues to join in on the fun. As we arrived, a huge three-tiered flowing chocolate fountain greeted us, along with chocolate-dipped champagne glasses, and mouth-watering fresh truffles. I couldn't resist plunging a nearby pretzel stick right through the flowing chocolate. Yum, yum, yum. It was so delicious. This was my first "fountain" experience; I've always thought that having a chocolate fountain would be tons of fun. And yes, it was. I lingered over it for a few more goodies.

But I truly came with a purpose; finding a dark chocolate treat for my hubby. I was celebrating my own anniversary today, and was hoping to put a smile on my "better half" with a unique chocolate lollipop treat. (I found a chocolate race car--how cute!)
It was a glorious day of chocolate, fun, and discounts and prizes. For a quick moment, I felt like a kid in a candy store.
