[Hac-announce] Directions to the Independence Day Cookout

[Carol Siddall]

This is the part of the write-up I completely forgot to include. I've 
copied it verbatim from the May newsletter, which can be found online at

http://www.cthumanist.org/documents/201105.pdf

If you have a little extra time to help set up that morning, please
be sure to let Brian know when you call.

Brian and Tara will provide burgers/dogs, beverages, chips, and
fixings. Please bring a dish to share. Tell the attendant you're there
for the cookout at the pavilion to avoid paying the entrance fee.

 From New Haven: take I-91N to exit 15 for CT-68 toward
Yalesville/Durham. In 0.3 mi. turn right onto CT-68. In 0.9 miles
route 68 takes a left. Follow 68 for 4.2 miles, when you will turn left
onto CT-17 (Main St.) Take your 2nd right (0.5 mile) onto
Haddam Quarter Rd. In 1.7 miles turn left at Arbutus St. In 1.4
miles bear right onto Livingston Rd. The entrance to the park will
be on your left in 0.6 mile. The pavilion will be on your left.

 From Hartford: Take I-91 S and take exit 22S on the left to
merge onto CT-9 S toward Middletown. Take exit 11. At the end
of the exit turn left onto CT-155 (Randolph Rd.) toward
CT-17/Durham. In 0.7 mile, turn left at Millbrook Rd. (there's a
traffic light and a fire station on your left). In 1.4 miles turn right
onto Livingston Rd. and then turn right into the park. The pavilion
will be on your left.

 From 84: Take I-691 E toward Meriden and continue onto
CT-66 (eastbound). In 2.0 miles turn right onto CT-147 S. In 2.3
miles turn right and continue on CT-147 and CT-157. In 2.5 miles
the road takes a sharp left (Middlefield Rd.). At the end of the road,
turn right onto CT-17 (Main St.) and then take your first left onto
Haddam Quarter Rd. In 1.7 mi. turn left at Arbutus St. In 1.4 mi.
bear right onto Livingston Rd. The entrance to the park will be on
your left in 0.6 mile. The pavilion will be on your left.

There's also a Little League field, a softball field and a soccer field. The paved, state boat launch is for electric motors only and fishing is allowed, but not ice-fishing. McCutcheon Park is also the scene of many summer youth programs sponsored by the city's recreation department.
