TRAFFICK JAM Raising awareness of human trafficking

To mark the passage of the new state law that better protects victims of human trafficking in CT, Traffick Jam Live, is hosting a special concert featuring Grammy Award-winning singer/guitarist José Feliciano of Weston and special guest Vaneese Thomas at the Ridgefield Playhouse on Tuesday, Nov. 30th. Traffick Jam Live is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit aimed at collaboratively disrupting human trafficking, specifically sex trafficking of girls under the age of 18, in the United States. It was launched by Ridgefield resident Bo Beatty in 2016. The concert will work to raise money—and awareness—about human trafficking, which affects communities large and small, including many here in Connecticut.

›› RESTAURANTS are about so much more than simply food. Not that the chocolate chip pancakes at Wooster Hollow Dinner aren’t divine, because they are, but the best restaurants are full of sensory experiences, leaving you with a feeling that stays with you long after you’ve finished your meal and stepped out the doors. For many restaurants in the area, helping to create that feeling is art from local artists.
