DARIEN, CT — The first organized event at Great Island has been postponed.
Selectman and Great Island Advisory Committee Chair Monica McNally this week announced that the polo match scheduled for Oct. 26 has been postponed to a mutually agreeable date next spring.
“After discussions with the Hamlet polo team we collectively decided that postponing will allow us to maximize the experience for both the participants and the public,” McNally said during the GIAC special meeting on Monday. “Over the coming months, we look forward to increasing public access to Great Island and hosting events that bring our community together.”
