The event, organized by the Tarrywile Park Authority, brought people together to raise money and recognize the individuals who have helped protect and maintain the park. With its miles of trails, open space, and historic property, Tarrywile is one of those places that makes Danbury special, and keeping it that way takes a lot of work and support from the community.

Two people who have played an important role in preserving the park were recognized during the celebration. Michael Marcus and Ed Prybylski were honored for their years of dedication to Tarrywile and their efforts to help ensure the property remains available for future generations. Their commitment is a reminder that maintaining a community treasure requires people who are willing to put in the time and effort.

The evening also included recognition of a generous legacy gift from the late Valerie Stagen. Her husband, Paul, was thanked for helping carry on her legacy through a contribution that will support the park's trails, recreational opportunities, and continued preservation.

That kind of generosity can make a lasting difference, especially when it comes to protecting open space and giving people a place to get outside and enjoy nature without having to travel far from home.

Congratulations also went out to Tarrywile Park Authority Chairman Duane Perkins, Loraine, the board, and the entire team responsible for putting the event together.

Danbury has plenty to offer, but Tarrywile Park is certainly one of its standout attractions. Events like this help ensure that the property, its trails, and its history will remain part of the community for years to come.
