The 250-year-old man named Noah


Today is the 250th birthday of teacher, writer, and local big name, top-dog celebrity Noah Webster (sorry John O'Hurley, you may have tangoed into our hearts, but the guy DID write the dictionary). To celebrate, West Hartford will be throwing a bash for the birthday boy this Saturday, October 18th, from 11 am to 4 pm at the Town Hall, in Blue Back Square, and at the aptly named Noah Webster Library. 

With promises of "tasty treats" and "carriage rides" at the event, how can one resist?

I wonder what Webster would think of a blog mentioning his birthday? I imagine it would be something along the lines of: "LOL! Ur gr8t! TTYL!"

Don't you agree?
