Morning, neighbors! Karena Garrity here with a brand-new copy of The Haddams-Killingworth Daily.

First, today's weather:

Windy; a shower in the a.m.. High: 54 Low: 21.

Here are the top four stories in The Haddams-Killingworth today:

1. The Connecticut River Museum has purchased the Haddam-based RiverQuest to expand educational offerings. It will now have a new home berthed at the steamboat dock at the foot of Essex's Main Street. (Middletown Press)
2. These furry friends are looking for their forever homes. Are you looking to add a pet to your family? (The Haddams-Killingworth Patch)
3. Weekend weather. Will it be mild or cold? (The Haddams-Killingworth Patch)
4. Something to think about if you will be dining out locally this weekend. According to the Connecticut Restaurant Association, there are still 2,066 restaurants throughout the state that applied for the first round of the Restaurant Revitalization Funds last year and still haven’t received funds. When will relief come? (Norwich Bulletin)
