Audubon:  45th Anniversary Celebration

Audubon: 45th Anniversary Celebration

The Connecticut Audubon Society turns back the clock on Saturday, September 24, to host the 45th anniversary celebration of the Center at Fairfield. The retro evening—1970s style—will commemorate the Center’s opening to the public on May 1, 1971.

THE CELEBRATION

The event takes place at the Center, 2325 Burr Street in Fairfield, 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and live music by The Merwin Mountain Band will include selections reminiscent of that era. Guests can take part in a silent auction and intriguing bird-themed “happenings” throughout the evening.
