News from First Town Downtown

Taste of Windsor If you love food and drink, join other foodies at the fifth annual First Town Downtown (FTDT) Taste of Windsor on Saturday, March 14th from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm in Loomis Chaffee's Dining Hall. The evening will be filled with a wide variety of appetizers and main dish samplings donated by Windsor's own unique restaurants along with a wine tasting and beer tastings! There will also be silent and tea cup auctions throughout the night so you can browse the donated items and get a great deal on some highly sought after gift certificates and other prizes. Tickets are $40 in advance. Get your tickets early as we've sold out in the past. Proceeds benefit First Town Downtown programs and events, including Windsor center development, center beautification, business support, and events like the Farmers' Market, Nightmare on Broad Street, the Carol Sing and Torchlight Parade. If you would like to donate an item for the auction please contact Ashley at (860) 688-5715 or email ashley@firsttowndowntown.org click here to purchase tickets
