“Ticket presales are a great way for young families to get to the fun faster after the parade. When you have young children in strollers and your kids are excited to get to the action, it’s hard to wait on line, so why not get right to the fun with your tickets already in hand?” said Gayle Close, co-chair of ticket sales for the Post 53 Food Fair. “A select group of local retailers have kindly allowed us to set up ticket sales outside their stores, so you’ll see Post 53 volunteers all over town in the next few weeks. We want to thank our retail partners for their tremendous support."
“This is also a great way to support Darien EMS-Post 53, recognizing that the Food Fair – while it’s a lot of great family fun, especially for young families – is also a fundraiser to support the work that the community relies on every day,” Close continued.
Tickets will sell for $5 each and will be sold by young adult Post 53 members outside locations such as Baskin-Robbins, Darien Social, Darien Sport Shop, Dunkin Donuts, Fabricare Cleaners, Heights Pizza, Jake’s Place, Nielsen’s Florist & Garden Shop, Palmer’s Market, Ring’s End, Stop & Shop Good Wives Shopping Center, Stop & Shop, Noroton Heights Shopping Center, Tengda Asian Bistro Darien, The Goose, Vavala’s Deli & Catering and Wild Birds Unlimited at a varying schedule.
Ticket sales also give people from town a chance to talk with Post members to learn more about the services provided and get their blood pressure checked.
