Capitol Day is offered in the spring of odd-numbered years and sponsored by the Town Advocacy Council. Capitol Day offers you the opportunity to interact face-to-face with your Legislators. A legislative visit preview will take place before you make your way to the State Capitol followed by a debriefing after your meetings. Look for more information in the magazine and on the website nearer the event date.
