Have A Heart Event Returns To Double H Farm, Ridgefield

RIDGEFIELD, Conn. The biennial Have a Heart benefit for Kids in Crisis will kick off at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 27 at Double H Farm, 11 Old Stagecoach Rd. The farm, donated by Hunter and Jeannie Harrison, has served as a good spot for the Barnyard Promenade that brings in money for the services provided to Southwest Connecticut by Kids in Crisis.
