Two, yes, two Appleseeds are being held in Connecticut on the same weekend in Connecticut, February 26-27, 2011. If you are in or close to Connecticut, come to on of the two. If you come, you might earn the "winterseed" patch.
One is in Chaplin, at the Fin, Fur and Feather Club. Chaplin is east of Hartford, and also about an hour from Springfield. Heck, it's only an hour and forty-five minutes from Boston doing the speed limit.
The other is in Colebrook at the Northwest Connecticut Sportsmen's Association. Colebrook is very close to the Massachusetts border, northwest of Hartford, and about an hour's drive from Springfield, Mass.
The information for both of them is below.
