DESCRIPTION:Ridgefield CT Pride is partnering with Norwalk River Valley Train for our very first Pride Hike.   We will be hiking the Reading Mile (which is actually 0.8 miles each way\, for a total of 1.6 miles) features a 10-foot-wide stone dust path—perfect for giving folks a preview of what’s to come on the Ridgefield Ramble section of the NRVT.  Parking is limited to about five cars at the trailhead\, with possible on-street options nearby. This trail is appropriate for novice walkers/hikers.  We are also thinking about stopping by a local establishment after for some additional time to socialize. \nDIRECTIONS FROM ROUTE 7 \nFrom Route 7\, turn east at the Golf Performance Center onto Great Pond Road towards Martin Park Beach\, then turn left on Picketts Ridge Road. Just after Farm Ridge Court\, the trailhead for the Redding Mile is on the right.

His debut full-length album\, A Little Brains\, A Little Talent\, also hit #1 on the charts and earned him his first GRAMMY® nomination for Best Comedy Album in 2023. The album features collaborations with stars like Patti LuPone\, Tituss Burgess\, Bernadette Peters\, and Josh Gad\, as well as a writing partnership with the legendary Alan Menken. \nRainbow has also toured the U.S. with his sold-out solo musical comedy concerts\, and his viral comedy videos have garnered millions of views across social media platforms. His fresh perspectives on politics and current events have earned him interviews and profiles in major media outlets such as The Washington Post\, CBS Sunday Morning\,  Jimmy Kimmel Live\, The Hollywood Reporter\, CNN\, NPR\, ABC News\, People\, and Entertainment Weekly. \nAs The Washington Post observed\, Randy Rainbow’s viral success has made him a shining example of how comedy can offer healing and humor in times of political and social division. \nJoin Ridgefield Pride at their table in the lobby before the show! \n\nVIP INFO / DISCOUNTS / PROMOTIONS\n\nRandy Rainbow Meet & Greet Package\nExclusive post show meet & greet with Randy Rainbow\nPersonal photograph with Randy Rainbow\nIntimate Q&A session with Randy Rainbow\nAutographed 8×10 photo\nCustom Randy Rainbow journal with pen\nSpecially designed Randy Rainbow tote bag\nOfficial meet & greet laminate and lanyard \nRandy Rainbow National Freakin’ Treasure Package\nAutographed 8×10 photo\nCustom Randy Rainbow journal with pen\nSpecially designed Randy Rainbow tote bag\nCommemorative Randy Rainbow laminate

SUMMARY:Queer Book Club: Hell Followed with Us
DESCRIPTION:Book club is now in-person at Rainy Day Paperback Exchange! But you can always drop in an leave comments about the book whenever you have time those two days\, or reply to other people’s comments.\nhttps://discord.gg/2xswCwNmAe \nABOUT THE BOOK\nHell Followed with Us\nby Andrew Joseph White \nSixteen-year-old trans boy Benji is on the run from the cult that raised him—the fundamentalist sect that unleashed Armageddon and decimated the world’s population. Desperately\, he searches for a place where the cult can’t get their hands on him\, or more importantly\, on the bioweapon they infected him with.But when cornered by monsters born from the destruction\, Benji is rescued by a group of teens from the local Acheson LGBTQ+ Center\, affectionately known as the ALC. The ALC’s leader\, Nick\, is gorgeous\, autistic\, and a deadly shot\, and he knows Benji’s darkest secret: the cult’s bioweapon is mutating him into a monster deadly enough to wipe humanity from the earth once and for all.Still\, Nick offers Benji shelter among his ragtag group of queer teens\, as long as Benji can control the monster and use its power to defend the ALC. Eager to belong\, Benji accepts Nick’s terms…until he discovers the ALC’s mysterious leader has a hidden agenda\, and more than a few secrets of his own. Perfect for fans of Gideon the Ninth and Annihilation. \nAccessibility info:\nParking and bathrooms nearby. No ramp access to shop. Small set of steps to entrance.

SUMMARY:"You Made That?" The Quilting Adventures of Harvey Fierstein

Not yet a member\, join for the discount code. \n“As a history museum with a commitment to connecting past and present\,” said KTM&HC Executive Director Hildegard Grob\, “KTM&HC is excited for the opportunity to showcase Harvey’s quilting creativity and to provide audiences with perspective on quilting’s long history of artistic expression and social commentary.” \nThough quilting is a textile-making technique that has been used for thousands of years\, American quilts have distinctive patterns and purposes that speak powerfully to our national identity. From practical bedwarmers to family heirlooms to bold activist statements\, quilts blend visual and tactile experiences to reflect important elements of American culture. KTM&HC has many historic quilts in its collection from 19th- and 20th-century Ridgefield: quilts with well-known pattern names like Log-Cabin and Oak Leaf; “crazy” quilts with irregular shapes and meticulous embroidery; and signature quilts commemorating weddings and community events. \nToday\, many contemporary artists use quilting as their artistic medium\, carrying on the textile traditions exemplified at our museum. The stunning quilts in Harvey’s collection\, including the selection on display at KTM&HC this July\, connect past and present through references to historic quilt-making patterns and techniques and visually striking\, dynamic designs that communicate Fierstein’s personality and activism. \nHarvey Fierstein is best known as a seven-time Tony Award-winning actor and playwright but\, as this exhibition will attest\, he is also a visual artist. Recipient of this year’s Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement\, Harvey is best known for his stage work on HAIRSPRAY\, LA CAGE AUX FOLLES\, NEWSIES\, KINKY BOOTS and TORCH SONG TRILOGY. Audiences are also familiar with film appearances in MRS DOUBTFIRE\, INDEPENDENCE DAY and MULAN. He attended NYC’s High School of Art and Design and holds a BFA from Pratt Institute. \nA forty-year resident of Ridgefield\, Harvey began dabbling in quilt-making after watching craft shows on HGTV. With his theatrical exploits curtailed during the Covid crisis\, Harvey used that solitary time to further explore the possibilities of quilting – gifting his output to familiars and donating many more to raise money for various charities. This is the first public display of his work. Asked about this show he said\, “I am both excited and terrified to expose my work en masse but ready and raring to go!” \nHarvey’s autobiography\, I Was Better Last Night\, is a NY Times best seller. \nThank you to our Sponsors: Cotton Candy Fabrics & Quilts and Adam Broderick Salon & Spa for generously supporting KTM&HC and this exhibition. \nThroughout the exhibition\, Cotton Candy Fabrics & Quilts will host a pop-up shop in KTM&HC’s historic Carriage Barn\, featuring Harvey’s favorite quilting supplies and live quilting demonstrations. Pop-up shop hours: Friday\, July 25 through Sunday\, July 27\, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 to 5 p.m. \nKeeler Tavern Museum & Garden Center is also offering complimentary tickets to members of Ridgefield CT Pride.  The exhibit runs from Friday\, July 25th until Sunday\, July 27th.  When you register for the complementary tickets\, use the discount code QUILTS2025. Info & Tickets.
