Before we get into the fun-filled details surrounding Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center's Cannonball Gala, let’s give a well-earned shoutout to the Gala Committee: Hildegard Grob, Katie Burton, Catherine Prescott, Rhonda Hill, Mary Ann Connors, Jennifer Dineen, Josh Fischer, Hilary Aronow, David Yaun, and Colleen Cash (with a tip of the hat to Sara Champion, who couldn't make the photo but is very much part of the crew). This team has worked hard to make sure the evening is not only memorable and meaningful—but seriously fun.
On Saturday, May 3, 2025, Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center will host its 31st annual Cannonball Gala, and the community will gather in the historic Garden House and Walled Garden to honor two of Ridgefield’s most inspiring arts leaders: Daniel C. Levine and Bryan Perri of A.C.T. of Connecticut.
The evening includes cocktails, a beautifully prepared dinner by À Table by Sarah + Bernard, and a highlight that’s sure to give guests goosebumps—a special musical performance by honoree Bryan Perri. There will also be a live and silent auction, a paddle raise, and plenty of opportunities to catch up with friends, toast the honorees, and support a beloved local historical nonprofit. Auctioneer David Yaun will keep the energy high and the bids flowing.
Sponsorships range from $1,000 to $10,000, with a mix of benefits including event tickets and recognition. Whether you’re attending, sponsoring, or simply bidding from the sidelines, your support helps KTM&HC continue its mission and remain a vibrant part of Ridgefield’s cultural fabric.
Tickets are on sale now, and this one’s expected to sell out—don’t wait:
