Avon-You can watch the live broadcast of the Inauguration from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. at the Avon Old Farms Inn. And from 7 p.m. - 12 a.m. you can join in the true celebration. It's $50 per person. You'll enjoy the culinary delights of Executive Chef Nick Muce, as well as a sampling of President-elect Obama's favorites. They'll have complimentary champagne and live entertainment by Steppin' Out. Reservations are required. A portion of the proceeds go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
Southbury- Borders bookstores in Southbury and other locations in Connecticut will have a Kids Party at 2 p.m. They'll learn about America and democracy through a special party filled with events for kids and the family. They'll also have a scavenger hunt and an official oath ceremony.
Madison- YOLO: You Only Live Once Live Beautifully is the new shoreline spa. And they'll be hosting an Inaugural Bash at 7:30 p.m. at Cafe Allegre in Madison. They're asking for a $40 donation. The politically inspired menu includes Democratatuille, Chimichangas We Can Believe In, Yes We Cantaloupe and Barack Berry Fruit Salad, Baby Barack Ribs, Chicago-style Bruscetta, As American As Apple Pie, to name a few.
