Each person attending tonight’s Jefferson-Jackson-Bailey dinner left with a goodie bag.
However, this isn’t the Oscars: the swag bags here weren’t filled with expensive baubles or vouchers for African safaris. The giveaways were decidedly more utilitarian.
Take the handy booklet filled with various Post-It notes courtesy of gubernatorial candidate Mary Glassman.
Ned Lamont, also running for governor, handed out little rubber basketballs, in the spirt of the UConn Huskies national championship. The small, soft orb makes a perfect dog toy.
Most candidates gave out brochures, but give Lt. Governor candidate Kevin Lembo credit for creativity: his handout could be cut into a pair of “nerd glasses.” Maybe he was inspired by Colin McEnroe.
And finally Susan Bysiewicz. Ever practical, she gave out these rugged canvas tote bags.
