Columbia’s Town Trails
Like many of my fellow Nutmeggers, whenever I say “Columbia” I add a bit of South American flair. Perhaps a roll of the tongue on the ‘l’. Never mind that Columbia, Connecticut is spelled differently than the country, and never mind that its small population is 99% white.

“Colllllumbiaaaaahh.” Say it with me… “Colllllumbiaaaaahh.” Feels good, doesn’t it? “Colllllumbiaaaaahh.”
Now let’s get to the town’s trails.

And they had an event going on regarding many aspects of Colombia. Elizabeth Meduna presented it, and they even gave out candy bags with some Colombian candy.
