Southbury women’s club sponsors events in town
If you are ever around Southbury in September I would greatly suggest to check out this wonderful event. It is an event for the whole family with free admission.
The Annual Fall Fine Arts Festival is a celebration of art, music and food with a focus on exposing local talent and giving back to the community. During this day-long event, different local artists and vendors get a chance to display and sell their art and skills. Other organizations are invited and allowed to partake and promote their brands. The Southbury Women’s Club is the organization who hosts and orchestrates the event. During the event, they can usually be seen facilitating different portions of it, or selling baked goods at their station. Some other individuals worth mentioning are the sponsors as well as the artists that provide the entertainment.
This event has been going on years, with 2017 marking its 13th anniversary. The best part about this is that it seems to be showing no signs of slowing down. In addition to giving great exposure to local talent, this event also doubles up as a charity event. 100% of proceeds will go to local charities to help those in needs. Not only are you able to enjoy some special handcrafted artisan items, but by doing so you are helping out the community. Pretty neat I say. Supporting areas such as Heritage Village in Southbury is the key to maintaining a thriving community.
The Southbury Women’s Club is a very integral part of the Southbury community. They host many different events and services that affect a lot of individuals daily. Some of the bigger annual events are listed below. Some other services offered range from public education on important issues to raising funds for scholarships and charities.
Operation Backpack: By working in conjunction with Social Services the Women’s Club is able to identify children in need. With a little help from sponsors, donors and volunteers, backpacks are filled with school supplies and handed to those who need them.
Hilarity for Clarity: This is a comedy night hosted by the Southbury Women’s Club. The aim is to raise money for the Make a Wish Foundation.
Annual Turkey Trot: This is an annual 5k race that is held in Southbury. 2017 marked the 7th annual rendition of the event. In the same year there were 2300 participants from all over the world. All proceeds went to local charities.
If you are not willing to become a member, consider becoming a sponsor or a donor. Every second and cent spent can help make Southbury a better place.
