A Night at The Belle: FVVA’s Roaring 20th Anniversary Gala

The Farmington Valley Visitors Association
(FVVA) invites one and all to join in an enchanting evening of music, dance,
and surprises, 1920s-style, as the organization celebrates its “Roaring
Twentieth” anniversary. Come in period attire and you’ll be eligible to win a
prize! Enjoy the music and photo booth fun of Mark Entertainment, indulge in Peabody
and Quick-Step dance demos and Charleston lessons from Steps in Time, bid on
exciting Silent Auction items, and much more! Throughout the evening, guests
will enjoy “speakeasy” signature drinks and a cash bar while savoring the
flavors of Belle Terrace cuisine and special anniversary confections. Admission
of $50 per person includes food, one signature drink per person, and all entertainment.
Reserve your tickets by May 21. For

Founded in 1994 by a group of private sector
businesses and the towns of Avon, Canton, Farmington, and Simsbury, the
Farmington Valley Visitors Association has strengthened the local economy by
packaging and promoting the valley as a destination for visitors. In the last
twenty years, FVVA has grown to encompass Granby, East Granby, New Hartford and
Burlington, and has been a resource for residents and for those wishing to
relocate to the valley. Its members include the area towns, historic sites,
recreational sites, farms, lodging, shopping malls, restaurants, and many other
professional and specialty businesses. The organization’s signature annual
Haunted Miniature Golf fundraiser at the Farmington Miniature Golf & Ice
Cream Parlor draws thousands of people statewide to the valley each October.
FVVA’s Historic Sites group presents fascinating lectures and bus tours featuring
one-room schoolhouses, working farms, historic taverns and more. Every year,
FVVA publishes its Guide to the Farmington Valley, distributing 50,000 copies
throughout the valley, the state of Connecticut and beyond, including 19
foreign countries in 2013.

Proceeds from the Roaring 20th
Anniversary Gala benefit the Farmington Valley Visitors Association, a
non-profit corporation whose mission is to promote the eight towns of the
Farmington Valley by serving as a resource and information center for residents
and individuals or businesses relocating to the area, and by enticing visitors
to experience all that the valley has to offer.
