What more do we need to know?

Carl Fortuna, Old Saybrook’s first selectman notes, “We are very excited to offer this event to kick off summer in Old Saybrook. This is the first time we have closed the street for an event like this and we think it will provide a great, family-friendly, celebratory atmosphere. We’ve been wanting to host a festival featuring music, food, and fun for some time and the response in our community has been very positive. We hope everyone from around the state will come to enjoy the day with us.”

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
