July 5th 2018 – There’s more to New England than you think!

July 4, 2018 by canuckiwiadministrator

Did you know that the only professional tennis tournament played on grass in North America happens 15-22 July 2018 in Newport, Rhode Island? Hot on the heels of Wimbledon it attracts several top players and it is a great time for tennis enthusiasts to visit the state
Rhode Island
The Dell Technologies Hall of Fame Open takes place, each July and has done since 1976 on the famous grass courts at the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum. The first U.S. National Lawn Tennis Championship was played in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1881. New for 2018 is the women’s pro tennis returning to Newport!  Here’s a few more facts on the New England states below:
Connecticut
The hamburger was invented in New Haven, Connecticut, at a restaurant called Louis’ Lunch and it is still in business today. It is told that in 1900, a customer was in a rush and asked the owner, for something to eat on the go. Cooked ground steak trimmings in between two slices of toasted bread were thrown together, and the hamburger was born. Today visitors can take the Central Connecticut Burgers and Brews Trail which involves a stop off at this restaurant http://www.ctvisit.com/articles/central-connecticuts-burgers-brews-trail 
Maine 

The state animal for Maine is the moose. Maine’s Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife estimates there are about 76,000 around the state. This is highest population of moose per state in the US outside of Alaska. In Maine, visitors can go on moose watching tours, with a registered moose guides by foot or canoe. https://bit.ly/2lH30mp
