Party Pics: New Canaan Museum and Historical Society’s Annual Fundraiser

Partygoers packed the dance floor at “Celebrate New Canaan,” especially for the band’s rendition of “Don’t Stop Believin” by Journey. Billed as “a magical evening of dinner and dancing,” the annual fundraiser raised more than $150,000 for the New Canaan Museum and Historical Society. More than 330 people gathered for an action-packed night of live music by Fake ID, a dinner catered by Diane Browne and a whiskey tasting from Litchfield Brewery. An event highlight was the dedication of the Jim and Dede Bartlett Center for New Canaan History. Proceeds from the paddle-raise will go toward the museum’s Campus Reimagined Project—a $2 million campus overhaul. nchistory.org
