Enjoying summer days close to home, at events and venues unique to your hometown, are some of the most memorable experiences in life (plus, you can get cozy in your own bed at the end of a fun-filled day).
Our series “What makes you crack a smile” highlights the local people, places and events that make our community an enjoyable place to live.
Get your flip-flops and summer ON and find out what makes Lori Berisford, SPHERE President and Chairman of the Board, crack a smile.
Tell us about your favorite summertime destination in Ridgefield
You will usually find me in one of two places in the summer – my backyard (which is my happy place) or at the Ridgefield Playhouse which always has some great shows – from comedians to classic rock (and everything in between!).
What community event do you look forward to attending? How does it make you feel?
My family and I are active in the community, attending many events. My favorite events are always the fundraisers where the Ridgefield community rallies to support the wonderful non-profit organizations. It’s hard to pick just one, but I do know a lot of the arts organizations are the heart and soul of what makes Ridgefield special.
What summer activity in Ridgefield makes you crack a smile?
While I’m not sure this is a true Ridgefield summer activity, but I am spending time this summer with SPHERE members rehearsing for our live performance at the Ridgefield Playhouse on November 6th. This year’s show is The Greatest Showman, a show with the message of “Embrace your individuality and be proud of who you are” – I personally could not think of a better show for SPHERE!
