Join us from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20

It’s almost time to make your annual pilgrimage to our frozen turkey and canned-food drive, benefitting Spooner House in Shelton! 

The Sofferman Pilgrim Family and Brendan Carey as “The Turkey” will be outside in full costume collecting your donations at our office at 1000 Bridgeport Ave., Shelton.

This year’s goal is to prepare 750 meal baskets, piled high with turkeys and all the trimmings! Any donation you can make goes a long way. Simply pull up, pop the trunk and we’ll help remove your frozen turkey and/or non-perishable food items from the car!

This event is proudly supported by Mutual Security Credit Union in Shelton.

Celebrate Halloween Eve at Carrie's Flour Garden in Ansonia

 Halloween Eve at The Flour Garden!

There will be warm apple cider, a fire crackling, and a stand full of freshly baked sourdough goodies — including some Halloween favorites like pumpkins, ghosts, and Jack Skellington loaves up for sale.

This evening is for everyone — past, present, and future customers are all welcome to stop by, browse, visit by the fire, and enjoy some cider while the kids trick-or-treat (yes, I’ll have full-size candy bars ready to go!).

Usually market days are such a rush, so I’m really looking forward to having time to slow down and actually chat with you all — the people who’ve supported me on this wild and wonderful journey. 

 Community Giving: Bring a non-perishable food item to donate for my Food Pantry Donation Box! All items will be given to the Beth El Shelter — a place that’s close to my heart and has helped people I personally know get back on their feet.
As a thank-you, you’ll receive $1 off per item purchased that evening.

Come by in costume (I’ll be dressed up too!), grab a loaf, sip some cider, and celebrate Halloween Eve with us!
