Alexis Ann, editor & publisher, the Resident, congratulates Chef Bobby Flay on the opening of his restaurant, Bar Americain, at Mohegan Sun. This makes 10 restaurants in total and is his second Bar Americain, the first of which opened in New York in 2005.

The Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce invited Santa to come to town as part of the Magical Mystic Holiday Tour. Santa arrived by tugboat, a sixty-footer named John Paul on November 28th as part of their 7th Annual Holiday Boat Parade and Toy Drive along the Historic Mystic River. It was a busy day filled with holiday cheer and even though Santa was exhausted at day’s end, he felt fulfilled listening to the children’s Christmas wishes.
The boat parade is enjoyed by ALL and it wasn’t a easy task for the judges to pick four winners out of the 25 parading.
Most Charismatic Crew went to the Downeast Hunter who sported a Beach Boys theme, complete with a surfing Santa. Best Dressed went to the Red, White and Blueberry and Most Innovative went to the Jack Rabbit, which turned Love Boat for the night. The highly prized Miss Mystic–Vessel of Grandeur went to Work Vessels for Vet.
Inside this holiday issue of the Resident, you can’t help catch the Spirit of Giving-the generosity of the people in our great region shines through with the many checks presented to various charities, such as, United Way, Groton/Ledyard Rotary with Groton Lion’s Club, Wireless Zone donates to Hospice and more!
You, too, can catch the Spirit of Giving by participating in the TVCCA’s Retired and Senior Volunteer Program’s 14th annual Santa Anonymous Winter Boot Program.
Thanks for reading the Resident, the Good News that Rocks! Please remember to patronize our advertisers as they’re helping to make the “good news” happen. Happy Holidays!
