Tour Of Kitchens

Is Returning

The Second Annual Tour of Newtown’s Kitchens will be presented by The Newtown Residential Preservation Society on Sunday, September 19.

Tickets are already on sale for this event, which will run from 11 am to 3 pm. Advance tickets are $20 per person, and any remaining tickets will be $25 on the day of the tour.

Advance tickets are available at The Little Green Barn in Sandy Hook; The Magic Garden, Newtown Savings Bank, Shear Image, UK Gourmet, Union Savings Bank and Victoria Yarrow, all in Newtown; and Addessi Jewelry in Ridgefield.

This year’s tour will offer two kitchens that seamlessly bridge the gap between classic and modern, old and new; one that offers traditional grace accented by tones of Mexicana; a kitchen within a 175-year old estate; a French country style kitchen; a dramatic solution to dining and hosting parties effortlessly; and a diner’s haven for meals amid Nature’s quiet beauty.

For additional information contact Richard Coburn at 426-0406, Janis Opdahl at 270-9344, or Jane Torrence at 426-4228.

Newtown Residential Preservation Society maintains the concept of the residential neighborhood within existing single-family neighborhoods as established by the Town of Newtown. Similarly, the group opposes actions that promote the development of institutional or commercial land use within residential areas.

NRPS is also concerned with public safety and community health. The group supports those efforts of the town which protect the environment while preserving the community’s natural setting.

NRPS is a not-for-profit association registered with the Town of Newtown.

Proceeds from the kitchens tour will help Al’s Trail, a project that was named for the late Al Goodrich, who had pioneered development of an 8½-mile recreational trail from Reed School to Upper Paugussett State Forest. NRPS has chosen to endorse the town’s efforts to construct Al’s Trail.
