Get Dirty, Have Fun & Raise Money to Fight Cancer at the Pineapple 5K in Greenwich!

It’s filthy and fun!  The Hawaiian-themed Pineapple 5K with Obstacles in Greenwich is no ordinary race.  During the run, you and your team will be challenged with unusual but formidable obstacles that will have you smiling and laughing your way through the course.  And yes, you should expect to get wonderfully dirty and wet – soaked to be exact.   The fastest men and women and fastest teams will get prizes, but so will the runners and teams with the best costumes.   If that’s not enough to get you to sign up, consider this:  all the while, you’ll be raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, helping to beat blood cancer. 

After the race, mingle with family, friends and all of the other runners at a luau, with a pig roast, beer garden and Hawaiian music.  It’s an ultra-casual party – Hawaiian-themed attire encouraged – when you can reflect on the mayhem of the race and take pride in the contribution you’ve made to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

On a Weekend Getaway – or Any Day – Find Innovative Art Exhibits in Stamford at the Franklin Street Works!

Collaboration plus creativity equals inspiration at Franklin Street Works, an art space, café and gathering place in Stamford.  Three times a year, Franklin Street Works organizes contemporary art exhibits in Stamford that stretch the boundaries of art with installations, exhibitions and performances that break away from the ordinary and at times out of the gallery and into public spaces and nearby cultural venues. 

The latest exhibition, Strange Invitation (borrowing the title of a Beck song), invited three artists to share their vision, as long as they each invited another artist, activist or curator to collaborate.  The end result is an exhibition that blurs the line between art and grass roots activism, between artist and art observer.
