UNIONVILLE: Only six weeks until the Cheshire Races

Sunday, March 29, is the date for the 2015 Cheshire Point-to-Point Races. (The sound effect you hear is Tilda doing Homer Simpson's cry of delight and triumph: <> I always enjoy the Cheshire Races.) This is the 70th running of the races, which benefit the Cheshire Hunt Conservancy.
Last year's event was a memorable one: The sleet and freezing rain led to the cancellation of the pony races and turned the Plantation Field parking area into a quagmire that only the Hickses' tractors could navigate.
