News-Times editorial response

The News-Times of Danbury, CT ran a story May 16, 2012 which said "Danbury area snubbed: Tourism ad omits western Connecticut". Danbury was not included in this one, very good video, but Danbury is not ‘snubbed’ by the Department of Economic & Community Development's Offices of Culture and Tourism attractions promotion.

That is a mouthful... to say, that Danbury is included in the State’s effort to promote economic development through the arts and tourism. An example is The Danbury Cultural Commission is working with Arts Network of Danbury and other groups to promote Open House Day, the one-day statewide event designed to pay tribute to Connecticut’s unique world of history, art, and tourism on June 9. A dedicated group of volunteers have been meeting for months to get this event going and they have done a superb job. Almost a dozen venues are available on June 9 with activities for children and adults.

And Danbury, through the Cultural Commission and others, hosts events almost every weekend. There are music, theater, museum,  and sporting events every weekend and many are free. To anyone who says that in Danbury there is nothing to do, they just are not looking. Everyone can find something interesting to do, especially on the weekends. Start by looking in the News-Times. Do a search for “danbury ct events” and you will find hundreds of things going on. Follow me on Twitter (@TheaterProducer) for the latest local theatrical production schedule.

The Danbury Cultural Commission works hard, with other groups, to encourage people and organizations to produce entertainment for everyone’s enjoyment. The State has included us and will continue into the summer and for years to come.
