THINGS TO DO AROUND CANDLEWOOD LAKE IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY, CONNECTICUT   It’s not too late to come out to enjoy the foliage! The weather man is promising nice, sunny fall days for this week-end, take advantage of it. The unexpected October snow storm did leave us some color on the trees, although the lengthy power outage sort of robbed us of Halloween.
