Winter Solstice sign vandalized over holiday weekend

http://www.sheltonherald.com/96142/winter-solstice-sign-vandalized-over-holiday-weekend/

Just days after being announced as the winner of a nationwide Atheist award, Shelton resident Jerry Bloom said he was not surprised to hear that his Winter Solstice sign, which he fought the city for the right to display on the Huntington Green, had been vandalized.

Bloom sued the city of Shelton earlier this year after being told he couldn’t put up his Winter Solstice sign in Constitution Park next to Post 16’s annual display of trumpet-playing angels.

The story advanced when city told Bloom that signs were not permitted within Constitution Park, but that he could have it on display within the Huntington Green for two weeks.

When Bloom visited the Huntington Green on Dec. 26 to take down his sign, he said he was upset to find, but not surprised to see that it had been vandalized.
