Our Out & About feature is the first thing people turn to when they receive each issue of Bedford & New Canaan Magazine, and all the attention is good for the charitable organizations behind the events covered.
But in a more general sense, it’s great to be Out & About in Darien, Ridgefield, New Canaan, Bedford, Pound Ridge, Armonk, Katonah, Waccabuc, North Salem, South Salem, Pleasantville, and Mt. Kisco! …There’s a lot of fun things to do!!!...
Just this past month: Warren Haynes performed to benefit Rippowam Cisqua, and then joined Rolling Stone piano legend Chuck Leavell at Caramoor for an evening MCed by CBS News’ Anthony Mason; Jan/Feb ‘21 Cover Feature Will Reeve attended the opening of the movie Super/Man, a documentary about Will’s dad Christopher, at the Bedford Playhouse; the Writer and Director of the new Netflix documentary ‘Martha’ about Martha Stewart appeared for a Q&A after a preview screening at the Jacob Burns Film Center; and the London Philharmonic Orchestra performed at Grace Farms’ 9th Anniversary Gala.
Our Calendar of Events on Instagram @BedfordNewCanaanMag is the largest locally focused Instagram in the area, and if you check in every day you’ll be in the know about everything that’s going on in the B&NC MAG area. All the benefits and blasts, formals and fêtes, parades and picnics, and concerts and classes and other community come-togethers on the calendar in our wonderfully abundant surrounds.
This past year we’ve featured some of the outstanding cultural institutions in the B&NC MAG community, including The Capitol Theater, The Ridgefield Playhouse, ACT of Ridgefield, The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, The Jacob Burns Film Center, Mather Homestead, and, in this issue, The Carriage Barn Arts Center at Waveny. We have major music halls, museums, movie houses, and much much more within miles of our mansions.
Celebrate the Holidays by getting Out & About! Do more than whatever you’re already doing! …And make it a habit!
Happy Holidays,
Casey Kaplan
B&NC MAG President
