Hi, and thank you for choosing
Antonio’s today!

The night before Halloween (October 30th) is known locally as Cabbage Night. Many years ago, this was a night of mischief. My Mom however, wanted us to be able to express ourselves, but not in a malicious way. This was also back when the Simsbury Flower Bridge was still in use. (Yes, I’m old)! The locals would throw streams of toilet paper up over the iron girders and it was so cool to drive through. My Mom decided we too, could toss toilet paper…but not in traffic. So, since 1968 we have been throwing toilet paper in OUR OWN trees (and cleaning it up every day afterwards).

     This will be the 57th year that we celebrate this night, and hope to have another truck-load of non-perishables to donate to the Simsbury Food Closet. This year we will yet again try to outdo our record by throwing 588,000 feet of toilet paper. That’s just over 1,175 individual rolls. We will feature our huge catapults as well as a couple of compressed air cannons. Please join in the fun starting at 4:00 pm on Wednesday October 30th. Also, please consider donating a can of food for each roll of toilet paper that you’d like to throw/launch/catapult.

     The families both home and here at the restaurant are all happy and healthy, so in closing; please accept my heartfelt thank you for choosing to spend your time and money here at our local restaurant. We consciously try to support our local farms and purveyors and appreciate your supporting us.

Sincerely, Steven (Antonio)
