Loons put away

WILTON – Wilton residents have been asking where the loons are?

A spokesperson for the Wilton Group Sponsors and the Blueberry Festival Committee said the groups have decided to not put the loons on display until spring. With winter arriving soon, the loons would only be able to be out for a while this fall. In the spring, the groups plan to have a map available to show where the loons will be placed.

For more information, people can call 645-2886 or 778-4726.
