Musical Guests

The event will feature live music from the popular band, ODDFELLAS, out of Stratford, CT.

Local Beverages

Each guest will receive two free beverages from Reverie’s large craft beer selection. Soft drinks and water will also be available at no charge.

What started as quietly thinking about relaxing at the end of the day with an IPA quickly flourished from pining over the success of other craft breweries to the reality of creating floor plans and refining beer recipes. Reverie Brewing Company’s vision is to create and promote high-quality great tasting beer for beer-lovers to enjoy. We strive to be a positive and honest partner to the community and to brew craft beers with integrity while focusing on sustainability. Learn more at https://reveriebrewing.com/

Community Kindness Ambassador Awards

During a Celebration of Kindness, Ben’s Bells wants to honor the kind work that is being done in our community with our Community Kindness Ambassador Awards. These awards were established to honor honor kind students, teachers, schools, coworkers, and business organizations in the community for making a difference through their outstanding kindness. 

NOMINATIONS: We are seeking nominations of individuals in the Connecticut and New York area who embody kindness through their behavior, choices, and actions, and through their service to the community. These kind individuals understand that kindness is a powerful skill and ongoing practice that begins inwardly and extends to other individuals, groups, and entire communities.
