Happy April Fools' Day
What is April Fools' Day know as in France, where the annual prank-pulling day is believed to have originated?
April Fish, or Poisson d'Avril, which is the phrase French youngsters shout after taping paper fish or pictures of a fish onto the backs of friends. The prank is linked to the old Julian calendar, when April was the start of the New Year and coincided with the sun's leaving the zodical sign of Pisces, the fish constellation.

Welcome!
The Farmington River Watershed Association is excited to introduce a new Fundraiser/Outreach program. "Fabulous Fish for the Farmington" , is inspired by the natural diversity of the watershed, the beauty of fish, and the creativity of local artists.
The Fundraiser involves engaging local, national, and international artists to decorate life-size carved wooden fish. The folk-art fish will go on display prior to the auction in the new Pia Sjölin Design Gallery in Canton. You will have a chance to hook a fish of your own at a silent auction being held from April 1-16 ending with a gala the evening before opening day of fishing season.
Pia Sjölin, our resident Swedish artist has connected our local organization with the artist community in Alingsås, Sweden where the Säveån River has become our sister river.
