Talking Turkey
On Sunday, November 24, 068 Magazine and Lounsbury House will partner for Ridgefield’s Second Annual Turkey Pardoning! Folks near and far are invited to join the festivities in front of the Lounsbury House on 316 Main Street. This year’s lucky bird is Pepper, a handsome turkey, who will be pardoned by none other than Rudy Marconi, Ridgefield’s First Selectperson.
The event will kick off at 11:00 am with lots of opportunities to celebrate the season and spread goodwill. EZ Moving, Ferrendino Enterprises, Chefs’ Warehouse and your own 068 Magazine are partnering to purchase gift cards that will be donated to those with food insecurity in our community and will be distributed by The Angel of Ridgefield, an organization which honors the life and legacy Ridgefielder Sharron McLeery with a mission of giving, helping, and supporting members of the community and Ridgefield Social Services. SOAR, a local non-profit, will be on hand and will provide flowers that can be used to bring a bit of joy to the holidays.
Reusable, keepsake shopping bags that will commemorate Pepper’s Pardon, will be available for purchase, with the proceeds benefiting the Ridgefield Boys and Girls Club as well as the Ridgefield Veterans Memorial Community Association, a 501c3 that was established when the town of Ridgefield purchased the Lounsbury House.
Please come out on November 24th as we celebrate community and caring and of course pardoning Pepper!
