*updated* Thank you to Rodger & Dena at The Store bar and grill!

Last weekend, the poles displaying our American flag and military branch flags were destroyed by vandalism. We immediately began looking into ordering replacements.

Before we could, The Store Bar & Grill generously stepped up and purchased and donated all 12 new poles. Just one week later, our flags are back up and proudly flying. 🇺🇸

A sincere thank you to The Store Bar & Grill for this incredibly generous donation and for stepping up for our community when it mattered. We are grateful for local businesses that care so much about Torrington and our community.

This evening, we had the privilege of honoring the men and women who served our country during the Vietnam War era.

It was an honor to join Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz and Connecticut Department of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Ron Welch in recognizing our local veterans and thanking them for their service and sacrifice.

For many Vietnam veterans, the recognition and gratitude they deserved was far too long in coming. Torrington is grateful for you, proud of you, and honored to recognize your service.

Thank you to Five Points Art Center for hosting us this evening and helping us honor these veterans and recognize their service and sacrifice.

Over the past few weeks, my staff and I have been busy distributing 200 soccer balls donated by FIFA for the 2026 World Cup through the U.S. Conference of Mayors.

The soccer balls have gone to the NWCT YMCA, Torrington Youth Soccer, Torrington Park & Recreation soccer camp, Brooker Memorial, and Challenging Minds for Torrington children to enjoy.

It’s been a lot of fun getting these out into our community and seeing the excitement from the kids. A big thank you to FIFA and the U.S. Conference of Mayors for giving us the opportunity to share a little World Cup excitement right here in Torrington! ⚽

Last night, I joined city officials for a tour of the Five Points Arts Center on University Drive. It was incredible to see how the former UConn campus has been transformed into such a welcoming and creative space for our community.

From woodworking and ceramics to weaving, digital art, painting, and even a children’s studio, there is so much happening there.

Thank you to Judy McElhone for inviting us and showing us all that Five Points has to offer. If you haven’t had a chance to visit yet, I highly recommend checking it out!

Today, we gathered at City Hall for our annual Purple Heart Day Ceremony to honor the courage and sacrifice of those who have been wounded in service to our country.

This year, I had the privilege of recognizing Torrington native Gunnery Sergeant Adam J. Kinosh, USMC, for his extraordinary service and sacrifice.

It was wonderful to see so many veterans, families, City officials and members of our community come together for this important recognition.

To Adam and all Purple Heart recipients, thank you for your courage, your sacrifice and your service to our nation. Torrington is proud to honor you.

Walking through the new "Echoes of Freedom: An America 250" exhibit at the Historical Society was a powerful reminder of just how deeply our hometown is woven into the story of America.

Mayor Spino recently took a personal tour led by Torrington Historical Society Director Mark McEachern and accompanied by Economic Development Director William Wallach, getting an up-close look at Torrington’s vital role in the founding of our nation. Standing in front of old draft records, tattered historic flags, and portraits of our very own local patriots—men and women who dedicated their lives to the birth of this country—is an experience that truly hits close to home.

We are so grateful to the Torrington Historical Society for preserving these incredible artifacts and telling our city's story with such care.

If you want to feel a genuine connection to our shared history, don't miss this exhibit!
