YWL Fall into New Canaan Saturday
The Young Women’s League of New Canaan (YWL) and the New Canaan Chamber of Commerce are thrilled to be partnering on the 2nd annual Fall into New Canaan: Celebrate the Season in our Village on Saturday September 8, 2018. Last year’s event generated over $100,000 for New Canaan businesses. Thanks to the success of FINC, last year’s featured beneficiary, Meals on Wheels, received a grant, which provides nutritious meals to members of our community. In addition funds were distributed to other deserving organizations including Bridgeport Rescue Mission, Connecticut Institute for Refugees & Immigrants, ElderHouse, and Malta House.
Fall into New Canaan is a town wide shopping event focused on supporting and celebrating our local stores. Walter Stewart’s and Stewart’s Wine & Spirits will donate a portion of their Saturday sales to the YWL Giving Fund!
This year’s Featured Beneficiary is Filling in the Blanks. Filling in the Blanks is a local organization created by two New Canaan moms that is dedicated to fighting childhood hunger. Filling in the Blanks provides much needed weekend and summer meals to children in need in the Fairfield and Westchester areas. By providing these meals, Filling in the Blanks is able to ‘fill the gap’ over the weekend for children with little or no other access to food at home. In 2019 they will provide meals to to 1,100 students for 44 weeks out of the year. What better way to support our town than by providing funds to a local charity doing such vital work in our community.
Taste of Town Stroll – August 23rd
Over $4,000 worth of prizes will be given out on the night of the Stroll to participants who complete the Challenge!

Sidewalk Sale Saturday July 14th!
Perfect Summer Event!
Sponsored annually for over 50 years by the Chamber of Commerce, and held every year on the third Saturday in July, the origins of the Sidewalk Sale date back to the 1920’s, when merchants put their wares on the sidewalks for sale. In recent years the Event has expanded to include a “Pre-Sale” day on Friday for New Canaan’s local merchants to put all of their merchandise out on the Sidewalk.
The fair offers local residents and regional visitors an action-packed, bargain-filled, entertaining, and delicious way to spend a summer day in one of the most charming towns in Connecticut. The event always offers many family friendly activities, with merchants showcasing an amazing array of products and services. Sure, there’s a little inventory spring cleaning going on, where many of the best deals spawn from, but some merchant’s have specifically ordered their customers’ favorite items to be sold at discounted prices exclusively during the Sidewalk Sale.
And stop by the Walter Stewart’s Farmstand on Elm Street for great deals on the freshest local produce!

T-Bill Drive Results for AmeriCares and Red Cross
Walter Stewart’s Customers Donate ‘T-Bill’ Rewards to AmeriCares & Red Cross
Together we raised $7289 ($5205 for AmeriCares; $2084 to American Red Cross) to aid victims of Tropical Storm
Harvey.
Americares relief workers are on the ground in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, teaming up with local partners to mobilize medical outreach, including the distribution of water, insulin, asthma medication and tetanus vaccines.
Special Events Manager Michelle Aquino noted that more than $9 million in technical assistance, gifts-in-kind and operational support has already been earmarked for partners in the U.S Virgin Islands, St. Maarten, Puerto, Texas and Florida.
“We are like everyone else—we are seeing devastation on the news,” Alex Stewart said. It has affected everyone. It’s a catastrophic thing and so if there’s a way we can help, we will.”
Thousands have lost their homes, and thousands have been rescued since the largest rainfall in mainland U.S. history struck coastal Texas on Friday. At least 15 people have been killed and officials warn that the toll is certain to rise as the full effects of the storm become clear.
Walter Stewart’s customers who participate in the T-Bill Rewards program—a card may be obtained from the store’s customer service staff or online here—will have an option to donate their balances to the fundraising effort. The 1907-established business in recent years has made the same offer following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the 2010 Haiti earthquake, according to the Stewarts.
The aid for Harvey victims is “really customer-driven,” Doug Stewart said.
“We have gotten a lot of feedback from customers asking if they could donate T-bills to help out,” he said.
Under the rewards program, Stewart’s customers accrue points with each purchase they make and can use their balances toward free items in the store or for services, and they can also donate T-Bills back during drives such as this one.

The Jamie Oliver Food Revolution returns to New Canaan, CT on Saturday, May 20th 10.00am – 12.00pm, once again getting kids and parents excited about food.
The event centers around a “Bravery Passport” – designed to encourage children of all ages to walk a food trail of local eateries and sample small bites – breaking down barriers about food they ‘think’ they may not like or even want to try. This year adults can also join in the fun so the focus is on family.
