People all over western Connecticut are getting the last of their shopping done, and there's plenty to see this holiday season at The Sono Collection.

Officials say the shopping center's first holiday season has been a good one, with a constant stream of guests. Senior general manager Matt Seebeck says guest experiences like the Whispering Wood and the Bell Grove help make holiday shopping a festive experience - not just a stressful one.

"It's our opportunity to make the guest experience the best as possible to as many people in a short period of time, and really give them a place to come and do something more than shop," says Seebeck.
