Tolland County rentals revolve around UConn crowds, country fairs, racing and farms. Storrs fills up for move-in, homecoming and May commencement. The Hebron Harvest Fair runs in early September. Stafford Motor Speedway draws race-night crowds. Winters inland are colder than on the coast, so plan for freezing.
