• Recap: The Selects (westontoday.news) — Weston's Board of Selectmen just funded this year's holiday festival, appointed a new Public Works and Facilities director, and set an October 15 Special Town Meeting on selling town-owned Pilot Hill Road land. Members also reviewed sidewalk-related litigation steps and floated moving the historic Old Post Office to the History & Culture Center as a possible community coffee and gathering spot.
   

• Southington, Plainville both seeking 4-0 starts; others look to bounce back (bristolpress.com) — Weston High's football team heads to Avon/St. Paul on Friday still seeking its first win after a tough 0-3 start and a recent loss to Harding. The preview also runs through several other key Connecticut high school matchups, but Weston's road test and early-season struggles are the main storyline for local fans watching the Trojans try to turn things around.
   

• Friday Flashback #522 (06880danwoog.com) — A 1969 Westport Pop Festival helped fund the Westport-Weston Youth Project, an early youth center and coffeehouse that gave local teens creative space and live music. Former Staples High students recall organizing intimate "Coffee House" shows, affordable concerts, and other events that showed how seriously the community once invested in Westport and Weston's young people.
