Beardsley Zoo / MonarchWatch - Community Economic Development Fund - CT Ag Commissioner Bryan Hurlburt (encore)

There's still a lot of summer left at Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo - and there's loads of things to plan for this fall, too. So, come along as we head to the zoo and get a lesson about the beautiful and fascinating Monarch Butterflies. You'll also find out how you can help preserve and rebuild our fragile population of Monarchs, while hearing about other pollinator activities, and so much more.

Then, it's up the road to Meriden to visit with a couple of leaders at the Community Economic Development Fund or CEDF. If you are looking to establish your ownn business, we'll clue you in on how CEDF supports the growth and success of small businesses in Connecticut, especially in underserved communities, through a powerful combination of capital, coaching, and education.

Then our next summer re-run takes us back to our live broadcast from Connecticut Ag Day last spring. As we close out this week's conversations, we'll hear from CT Commissioner of Agriculture Bryan Hurlburt.
