Yes, you can enjoy your hot dogs and hamburgers on Monday — but you may have to cook and eat indoors.
And don't forget to salute the men and women who have died serving our country. Many events and parades were planned in towns and cities across Fairfield County, but some were canceled by Sunday evening. Others were waiting until Monday morning to decide whether to go forward. And some events will go on rain or shine.
