Lieutenant Governor Bysiewicz gets a tour of local businesses
Carolyn Verikas • January 12, 2024
BRISTOL — Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz visited Bristol Wednesday morning, stopping in to The Bristol Bazaar, the BristolWORKS! job training center and Family Roots Produce Market for tours.
Bysiewicz was joined on the tours by Mayor Jeff Caggiano, Justin Malley, economic development director, Dawn Nielsen, marketing and public relations specialist, and Rep. Joe Hoxha.
During the stops, she learned about how BristolWORKS! is training people for careers in manufacturing, early childhood education, healthcare and information technology. She also stopped at booths for several start-up businesses at The Bristol Bazaar, where she picked up some fudge made by La Famiglia Tedesco for her husband. She also picked up dandelion greens, broccoli rabe and parsley from Family Roots which she said she planned to use to make a soup.

Be sure to check out the fun workshops and upcoming events on our calendar below too. There are only a few weeks left to enjoy our Winter Wonderland Shopping Experience but we assure you that our next theme is just as "sweet". See you soon!! A Message from Wonderfully Made We saw a recent post by Brian's Angels Homeless Outreach regarding the dangerously cold weather we can expect over the next few weeks and we thought we could help. We chose the heaviest, most durable knits from our inventory and dropped off a box of hand-knitted winter hats. The need is great and we can do more, but we need your help. ο»Ώ For the month of January, Wonderfully Made will use a portion of our sales from The Bristol Bazaar to fund materials to make more hats for Brian’s Angels. We use a sturdy but soft washable yarn and buy in bulk. These hats are warm and they will last. You will find us on the top shelf - we just restocked with fresh inventory and vibrant colors.
