    'Campers of the Session'
    Department of Parks and Recreation’s Painter Park Day Camp celebrates its “Campers of the Session,” led by camp director Chuck Asarisi, back, at the end of the two-week session for ages 6-12 recently. Asarisi has been a seasonal employee of the department’s day camp program since 1987, when he was 15. Park-Rec offered four two-week sessions this year — one more than normal — because of school dismissing earlier.

    Sasso Tile Co. marks a century in business
    The owners of The Sasso Tile Co. of 55 Dogburn Road Extension receive a citation July 20 from Mayor Edward M. O’Brien, second from left, marking the company’s centennial anniversary. From left, Peter Sasso, Lawrence Sasso, matriarch Rosemary Sasso, 92, Anthony Laudano, Judi Sasso and Marybeth Sasso. Reading the citation aloud, O’Brien recognized the family’s successful venture in the tile business, saying, “Since 1917, Sasso Tile has enriched the tapestry of our community.” For the 100-years-in-the-making celebration, the Sassos wined and dined relatives, friends and purveyors in the rear, tent-covered parking lot with a craft beer station operated by Thimble Island Brewing Co. of Branford and pizza and cupcake trucks operated by Big Green Truck of New Haven and The Cupcake Break of Vernon.
