Overhead Door Co Of Hartford

Get a taste of Broadway without having to hop a train into New York City when you choose to take in a show at the Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts. Several big touring shows are regularly scheduled at this impressive entertainment venue that features state of the art sound and lighting within a classically designed theater that brims with a warm, vintage feel. Shows like Jersey Boys, Avenue Q, A Chorus Line and Phantom of the Opera are just a few examples of the type of top-drawer attractions that are frequently on the bill.

It isn't uncommon to hear about garden shows. They seem to happen in nearly every city in the country. However, the one Connecticut Flower & Garden Show has built up a solid reputation as one of the most prestigious shows of its kind. Visitors are treated to the visual allure of several breathtaking gardens that are designed by some of Connecticut's most respected horticulturalists. The gardens are presented over 3 acres and include not only floral presentations but several exhibits that educate visitors about new gardening products and services. This popular festival is usually held every February.

Mountain bikers in Hartford enjoy a trek through Penwood State Park. Located approximately 9 miles northwest of Hartford off Connecticut Highway 185, the recreation trail is as challenging as it is picturesque. To the west, the trail approaches edges of cliffs, so extreme caution is strongly advised. Less experienced riders should steer clear of (or carefully through) the single track trails.
