RIDGEFIELD â On Saturday, June 4, from 8 am to 4 pm, Ridgefield Community Center will host the Annual Outdoor Ridgefield Antiques Show. The show will run rain or shine.

The showing of fresh, quality antiques, started by Russell Carrell as a âtailgateâ sale in 1962, has maintained a charm that has eluded many newer shows.

Corinne Burke, the showâs manager, is selecting dealers that provide interesting, yet affordable, antiques for todayâs collectors.Â A large selection of Americana, architectural items, garden ornaments, old country furniture, quilts, etc., are available to explore and enjoy.

Antique and decorator items for both house and garden will be displayed at this beautiful estate on the rolling lawn under old shade trees. At least 75 dealers are expected to participate.

The show regularly attracts more than 1,200 attendees. Refreshments are offered, and indoor restrooms are available.

Admission is $7 for adults, while children ages 12 and under will be admitted for free. The community center â The Lounsbury House â is at 316 Main Street (Route 35), about one-half mile north of the intersection of Route 35 with Route 102.

Proceeds help maintain the circa 1896 Lounsbury House.

Call 203-438-6962 for additional information.

The Way We Were

You assumption that there have been no offers to purchase property to protect it from development of 117 luxury cluster homes is simply wrong. And so is the developer's refusal to even come to the table.

Bits And Pieces

You do realize that the town has been trying, and failing, to develop this property for more than 20 years, becuase of the multitude of environmental harm that development would cause, wasting $250k of taxpayer money in the process, don't you? Thankfully, sometimes, realities and needs come before street names. The sewage treatment plant was a need - thats not 'commerce'. Well, the aquifer under 6 Commerce, and the Class1 trout habitat next to it are needs too. If you still are stuck on the street name getting the last word, you should probably ask the State why they designated 34 acres there as open space, when they granted it to us. And if you're still hung up on it after that, let's just change the name of the access road to #6 & #8 to something more fitting....like Conservation Drive....so you can be more at ease.

Selectmen Request Economic Development Requirement For 6 Commerce Be Droppe

Since when is Economic Development narowly defined as tax revenue? You (and the leadership of the EDC) need to broaden your collective understanding of what drives local economies if you want to be successful in helping to grown the local economy. Here's a hint: Positive Cashflow. The town is no different than any business. Top line tax revenue means nothing if it doesn't exceed the costs that come with. That's why converting the last few remaining open spaces to residential housing is a losing proposition economically. CVHAS brings 10's of thousands of people to Newtown annually, who spend money at our restaurants, watering holes and other local businesses, without a signficant increase in, or dependence on, town services. Non-profits are fantastic for local economies, be they private schools, zoo's, museums, land trusts, theaters, or yes, animal sanctuaries.
