After a couple of painting sessions at Lapham Center, downtown New Canaan was "rocked" for last weekend's Sidewalk Sales. Twenty rocks were hidden around the post office and near the intersection of Main and Cherry the day before and another 40 were hidden on Elm and Morse Court on Saturday, hours before the Sidewalk Sale got underway. Aggie Aspinwall, who works at Lapham, was at the Chamber of Commerce table giving out painted rocks to hide and instructions for making more. Lapham Community Center now have 140 residents who joined its Facebook New Canaan Rocks page and some of them are painting rocks and hiding them in town. It's been a fun summer project simply intended to spread a little fun and happiness in New Canaan.
