Guilford's Cilantro Remembers Sandy Hook

In a heartwarming tribute on their front window, the local specialty foods store on the Guilford Green remembers the victims of Sandy Hook.

 

Walking by Cilantro on the Green, you'll notice a tribute to Sandy Hook the business has displayed in their two front windows. Subtly posted on the windows, are small, postcard sized stories of how folks are remembering and honoring the victims.

"We had a benefit concert for Sandy Hook a little while back," one employee told Guilford Patch. "Those who attended filled them out and we've displayed them on the window so we can pay tribute to those victims and their families."
