Spring Heritage Brick Ceremony


Spring Heritage Brick Ceremony


Due to the unpleasant weather conditions predicted this weekend and after much consideration, we have made the decision to postpone our Heritage Brick installation ceremony to Saturday, June 5 at 9:00 AM. Thank you for understanding.

Please join First Town Downtown for the Spring Heritage Brick Installation Ceremony on Saturday at 9:00 AM. The ceremony will take place at the Windsor Center memorial patio, at the intersection of Broad Street and Central Street.

As you know, this heritage brick patio is a unique and special way for friends, family, and businesses to celebrate milestones and preserve memories, leaving a mark for future Windsor generations to enjoy. We look forward to seeing you at this ceremony, which celebrates our amazing Windsor community. Coffee and goodies will be provided following the ceremony.

If you can’t join us in person, we will be sure to showcase photos on our social media and in our weekly newsletter.
