The Indian American Package Store Association of Connecticut (IAPSACT) will host its Annual Summerfest & Cricket Tournament on Aug. 9 in East Hartford.

It will feature a cricket tournament, networking sessions, community activities and fundraising initiatives.
IAPSACT said the event is intended to strengthen collaboration within Connecticut's retail beverage industry while promoting advocacy, professional development and community engagement.
"The Summerfest & Cricket Tournament is about bringing our industry together beyond business," said Abhin Sheth, spokesperson for IAPSACT.
"It's an opportunity to strengthen relationships, celebrate our community, support charitable initiatives and recognize the tremendous contributions independent package store owners make throughout Connecticut," he added.
The event will include a competitive cricket tournament featuring teams from across the state, networking opportunities for retailers, suppliers and distributors, family activities, recognition of sponsors and industry partners, and fundraising initiatives supporting IAPSACT's mission.
Organizers said the gathering will also provide opportunities for collaboration among small-business owners and beverage industry professionals.
The association was established to provide a unified voice for independent package store owners, advocating on legislative and regulatory issues while offering educational programming, networking opportunities and resource sharing.
Indian Americans own an estimated 60 percent of Connecticut's more than 1,200 package store permits, making the community one of the state's largest small-business sectors and a significant contributor to the state's retail beverage industry, according to IAPSACT.
The association said many of these businesses are family-owned enterprises established by first-generation immigrants.
