The owner of Ridgefield Running Company is a successful entrepreneur. She is also very civic-minded. This summer she has spearheaded a program in which artists funded by local businesses decorated big fiberglass and resin sneakers, which are displayed around the downtown.
Compassion.
In front of Queen B Coffee.
This sneaker is displayed in front of Ridgefield Town Hall. After Run Like a Mother, there was a station where kids and their mothers could get paint smeared on their hands, then press them agains this sneaker. My daughter's and two granddaughters' handprints are among the ones on this sneaker.
Some of the sneaker forms were smaller. Individual agents from a real estate firm decorated and displayed sneakers outside Books on the Common.
In September the sneakers will be auctioned off. The proceeds will fund kids' and arts' programs.
