Certainly one of the most interesting and unique events in Mystic Country this summer is the RiverFire in Putnam, Connecticut. This stunning pyrotechnic display draws thousands of visitors who enjoy music, food, and strolling along the streets of Putnam prior to the event itself. And best of all, admission is free. On this show we talk with Gary Osbrey of radio station WINY-AM in Putnam, who fills us in on the RiverFire as well as lots of other things to do and see in the area.

We'll also tell you about other upcoming events in Mystic Country, including a unique live calving at the 147th Annual Woodstock Fair. So sit back for the next few minutes and let us bring you a little of the flavor of Mystic Country!
