Chester in a Nutshell

Living in a town where everyone knows your name proves to be quite the adventure. When the most entertaining thing to do in town is skip rocks on the Connecticut River, creativity is a must. It would be a shame for such innovative adventures to go undocumented, hence the creation of this blog. Even though I enjoy the fast past life of being a New Yorker during the school year, I savor the summer months when  I retreat back to the 16.0 square mile oasis. The blue berry picking, duck feeding, ice cream eating days are the ones that depict my childhood. From alpaca farms to apple farms, Chester is the epitome of a country town paradise. Almost an untouched time capsule, not changing in the past decade. Neighbors have been neighbors for 25 years, 3 generations have had the same biology teacher, and the price of milk has pretty much been at a stand still. However the memories Chester creates are worth jotting down.
