Definition of a Good Time: Getting your tickets for West Hartford Hauntings BEFORE they sell out! 📖👻

Noah Webster (pictured here today at the Moms & More Annual Halloween Stroll) already has his tickets for Oct 24, 29, & 30. 🎃

He loves how this year's theme uses local West Hartford stories to tell the bigger, bolder, and sometimes spookier American story. 🇺🇸

Get yours and join him on a lantern-lit journey through time! 🕯️🎟️

🎨 Red or Green? A Very Webster Dilemma!

Big news in the color world: Benjamin Moore just dropped Webster Green as their Color of the Year! 💚

Now, we couldn’t help but look over at the Noah Webster House and ask the ultimate question:
Do we give our iconic red house a fresh, leafy glow-up with Webster Green... or would Noah himself rise from the history books to file a formal complaint in the dictionary under "H-E-R-E-S-Y"? 📖

In all seriousness, we love our classic historic red, but we have to admit—the name does have a certain ring to it! 😉

What do you think?
❤️ Team Classic Red — Don't touch the icon!
💚 Team Webster Green — It’s literally in the name!

Drop your vote in the comments below! 👇👇
*Disclaimer we’re keeping the red 😉
