The Ridgefield Grinch Walks the Runway for Ann's Place Tomorrow (yes, his heart grew several sizes)

Ann’s Place is thrilled to once again host its spring fashion show, On the Runway - Celebrating Role Models on April 25th at The Ridgefield Playhouse. The event is hosted by the hilarious Christine O'Leary. 

Now in its 7th year, the 2023 models will be wearing spring and summer fashions expertly curated by Audrey Road, located on Bailey Ave in Ridgefield. Tickets to the show are $30. Purchase tickets HERE.

Today, we feature The Ridgefield Grinch. 

The I'm the Ridgefield Grinch, and my story begins in the small town of Ridgefield, Connecticut. Growing up, I was a bit of an outsider. I didn't fit in with the other kids and I struggled to make friends. As I got older, I became more and more bitter about my situation and started to resent those around me.

One day, I decided to take action. I put on a green costume and set out to steal Christmas. I was successful in my mission, but it didn't bring me the satisfaction I thought it would. In fact, it made me feel even more alone and isolated than before.

Over time, I began to realize that my actions were hurting those around me and I started to see the value in community and connection. I made amends with those I had wronged and worked to become a better, kinder person. Now I drive around Ridgefield each holiday season in my trusty Grinchmobile visiting the children of Ridgefield and delivering gifts.  While I'll always be known as the Grinch, I'm proud to say that I've turned my life around and am now a positive force in my community
