Partnership to host "Summer Stroll"

The Mansfield Downtown Partnership will kick off a season full of fun at its Summer Stroll on Thursday, May 26 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM in Downtown Storrs.

This free event will feature a variety of "grown-up" fun to enjoy after work with colleagues and friends.

There will be a mini-golf course set up in the street on Dog Lane in front of 1 Dog Lane.

Join in a friendly competition of croquet, bocce, or other lawn games on Betsy Paterson Square.

And try your hand at "milk pong," courtesy of Insomnia Cookies.

Take part in the "Downtown Dozen Scavenger Hunt" for a chance to win one of three prizes:

  • A four pack of tickets to the Latin Dance Cabaret featuring Orlando Ortiz and Karibe Mambo Orchestra, which will be Saturday, June 11 at Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts

  • A pair of tickets to The Piano Guys, returning to Jorgensen on Friday, Sept. 16

  • A dozen cookies from Insomnia Cookies

Participating businesses will be celebrating the new season with special offers including summer drinks, discounts, and more. The Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry will offer free tours of their current exhibit, Hecho en Puerto Rico, at 5:30 PM and 7:00 PM.
