May 16th is the date for House Republican conventions statewide. The 89th is going to be held in Prospect Town Hall... I'll definitely be there. Wish me luck! Or, better yet, feel free to attend (although you may have to be a registered Republican)... The 103rd (Al Adinolfi) will be held in Cheshire Town Hall. I'm not sure on the times for either one yet, but am guessing they'll start at 7pm or 7:30pm.
