Broad Brook Living

This Connecticut town is home to Nascar champion Jerry Marquis. Impressed? Ok, ok, there's more to Broad Brook than that. Connecticut is a small state, so there may not be much to be said for being in the northern part of the state - it's not like, you know, it's all that much colder or culturally foreign ""up north"" - but alas, that is where Broad Brook resides. With a mere 4,000 souls, and interspersed with waterways and leafy green vegetation that grows like beauty unleashed, Broad Brook is the essence of quaint. If that sounds like flowery language, well, we cop up to a certain poetic panache when this New England locale springs to mind.

Broad Brook For Dummies

Quaint by day...still quaint by night! Ok, so Broad Brook isn't even close to being a superhero, and its range of expression is pretty limited. But with a population as petite - as in the head count, not the height - as Broad Brook's, what do you expect? Some folks actually like it that way, and you're probably one of them if you're contemplatin' a move to this out-of-the-way charmer of a town.

How do we know it's charming? Because there's no way - nada, zero - that it couldn't be when nearly record breaking pumpkins are being grown in the luscious nature preserves we call ""Broad Brook backyards."" At well over 1,000 pounds, the orange abomination belonging to Ken Desrosiers is a real monster. As alluded to above, it doesn't quite break the record - that belongs to a pumpkin/pumpkin lovin' freak up in Minnesota - but to say this Broad Brook creation demands an honorable mention is an understatement of epic proportions, no pun intended (yea,right).

Broad Brook is a cutie patootie, as Rosie O' Donnell might say about Tom Cruise. I mean, just look at it!

Ok, So What Can You Do In Broad Brook

You can't ride roller coasters, go clubbing, or attend some fancy lecture on physics in Broad Brook, but that still leaves a whole lot left to bide your time in this neck of the Connecticut woods (which 'round these parts have long been mostly cut down). Broad Brook proper hosts the totally awesome thespian outlet otherwise known as the Broad Brook Opera House. As of this writing, the drama-mongers that make the place tick are planning a production of Cinderella. Not exactly cutting edge stuff, but then not everyone is privy to the work of, say, David Mamet. Just on the horizon is Chicago: The Musical. For any aspiring act-tors out there, you might like to know that auditions are being held now for this stocking-studded production.

Taking the action from the stage to the sun, get your fix of outdoor wonders by visiting the Applebrook Farm and Cider Mill, or the equally wall calendar worthy Old Orchard Farm, where the whole fam can partake in the cutting down of a Christmas tree. Of course, you can always just cut it down for no particular reason too, but that wouldn't be very nice, now would it?

Dig in to the prospects for fun and excitement on your own before enjoying your new digs. Or just stay in, and enjoy the peace and solitude of your new place by writing a novel or something. That's what ""going out into the country"" is really for, right? Ok, maybe we've seen too many movies.
