Frank Dooley, chairman of the Norfolk Democratic Town Committee (center), was all smiles at the Norfolk Curling Club on September 13, with his counterparts Todd Shearer from North Canaan (L) and Tom McKeon of Colebrook (R). Each town chairman won a nice door prize donated by a Norfolk business, and numerous Democratic candidates came to the event—U.S. Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty, Attorney General George Jepson, Secretary of State Denise Merrill, State Representative Roberta Willis, State Comptroller Kevin Lembo, Probate Judge Diane Blick, candidate for State Senate Melissa Osborne, and candidate for State Senate in the 13th District Bill Riiska—making the picnic a rousing success and likely to become an annual affair.
