Great Country Timber Frames hosts record-setting open house event on Saturday with over 500 people in attendance at new facility in Ellington, CT.

We were honored to be joined by Lindy Lee Gold, Senior Development Specialist from the CT Department of Economic & Community Development and Lori L. Spielman, First Selectman from the Town of Ellington, for our ribbon cutting this afternoon at Great Country Timber Frames. Everett IV, Chris, and Everett Skinner III cut the ribbon and hosted the event for members of the media, Chamber of Commerce, and government officials.

We appreciate the hard work & dedication of all the vendors & contractors we work with. For without their help, Great Country Timber Frames would still be a dream instead of the reality it is today. Accordingly, we welcomed our vendors & contractors to the new Manufacturing & Design Facility at Great Country Timber Frames yesterday afternoon for a private showing prior to the big open house on Saturday.

Building for the Future. Big Dreams in a Small Town.

Our Fall Festival sure was a lot of fun this year! The hay ride was a big hit and everyone enjoyed the Hummel hot dogs, apple cider donuts, and apple cider. Plus plenty of pumpkins for everyone, complete with a carving template. It was a festival to remember!
