What an incredible evening!
Guests gathered for one of Southington’s best summer traditions, enjoying a delicious
Farm-to-Table dinner featuring Smokin’ with Chris delicacies, dessert by Paul Gregory’s, and craft beer and wine from Worldwide Wine & Spirits.
The evening continued with music by Nashville’s Grammy Award-winning musician and hometown favorite Matt Rossi, along with line dancing, games, and dancing under the stars.
Most importantly, it was an unforgettable night spent together in support of LEAF and hands-on agricultural education.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported us, and helped make the evening such a success!
