ANSWER: I hope many of you can donate treasures to this worthy cause, whether for the yard sale or for the museum to have on display. The J&O Irish Museum was once a thriving retail business originally built in 1888 by Orlando Irish, a prosperous local farmer. The store was operated by members of the Irish family, and was given to the Hartford Historical Society by James Irish in 1976. The building is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a must-see while visiting Hartford.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Friends of Special Olympics are gearing up for their annual fundraiser yard sale. This year’s sale will take place June 23 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 166 Franklin Road in Jay.
