My daughter has been selected to attend a national event. She needs to make small inexpensive favors that represent her state. So I was wondering what other people in the country think represents CT.
Thanks for the replies. We decided to go with daffodils, because our city has an annual festival every year at a local park that has over 600,000 daffodils, so even though is not exclusively CT, it does represent her home town.
Country clubs? Okay, probably not country clubs...
Maybe you can do a New England type theme - fall foliage?
Or something Yale Bulldogs related? (says the Dartmouth alum, with a shudder... ;)
lol, i think of lyme disease... not that it helps :)
Submarines! But that's probably because my dad works for electric boat as a senior designer :)
Yale and Mystic Pizza.
I have never been to Connecticut, but I hope I can go someday!! When I think of Connecticut, I think of the ocean, because a lot of the romantic novels that I have read throughout the years take place there. Maybe you could do something with a seashell? I'll bet you're very proud of your daughter!! Congrats!
I think of fall foliage and Mystic Aquarium
Connecticut is the nutmeg state, so I'd bring little jars of nutmeg.
This is not Connecticut-specific, but when I think of any place in New England, I think of fall colors and American Revolution-era history.
A.m.a.n.d.a - that cracked me up! I actually think of my in-laws, but that doesn't help either. :)
What about a Cape Cod with a white picket fence and a fall foliage maple?
I have never been to Connecticut but that is what I think when i think of Connecticut or any northeastern state.
I grew up in Connecticut. I think of big insurance companies, scraping snow off my car all winter, and getting bit by mosquitos all summer. Probably better to go with the nutmeg and fall foliage thing....
Trees and lighthouses, and the band Phish. And also my college roommate from Connecticut who didn't have an accent until cute guys showed up and then she would fake it big time for attention ;)
My husband who's from CT says what about nutmeg, pizza, or seashells.
B&B's, especially The Manor House in Norfolk. and fall foliage!
Having grown up on the shoreline, i Immediately think of the beach and small cottage neighborhoods. I also think of pizza - especially pepe's and tolli's :)
