Fabulous Fashion, Exciting Entertainment, and Fundraising Fun!

Join us at The Inn at Mount Pleasant in Torrington, Connecticut, for a can't-miss celebration of the Housatonic Valley Association's 85 years of environmental successes.

The event begins at 3 p.m. in the Inn's beautiful barn with music by The Green Jazz Band, food from Chopped-alum Chef Dino Kolitsas of Greca Mediterranean Kitchen + Bar, and some magical surprises, including our guest welcome speakers. 

The main event is the River Fauna Fashion Show, where contestants will show off their best Housatonic River animal-inspired to be considered for our grand prize! Learn more about how to enter to walk the catwalk above.

We'll carry the fun into our paddle raise fundraiser, with the goal of maximixing our 85th Anniversary $800,000 matching challenge, thanks to our generous supporters! Then, mingle, dance, and enjoy the stunning fall views of Litchfield County with music by The Green Jazz Band with TimeRider.

Dress Code: Come as you are! Wear what you are most comfortable wearing for this fall event. Guests looking to get in on the fashion fun are welcome to don their best environmental-themed outfit or accessories, whether its dressing in earth-tone colors, sporting a simple animal-inspired headpiece or bag, or developing a look of your own!

With your help, HVA has the unprecedented opportunity to unlock $800,000 in matching funds!

Thank You
