Food, Wine and Community at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center
Watch more and discuss:
The Stamford Museum and Nature Center is getting ready for it's 17th annual wine tasting Friday.
It all started 17 years ago, and now Executive Director Melissa Mulrooney says the evening is a signature event.
We're very focused on food and wine, said Melissa Mulrooney, executive director of SMNC.
Wine is provided by BevMax and food, served by more than a dozen local chefs, restaurants and caterers, like Marcia Selden Catering and Event Planning.
It's very important to us to give back to the community and they're an organization that we love for many reasons, said Robin Selden, of Marcia Selden Catering and Event Planning.
The museum was founded in 1936; moving to its current location in 1955. Since then, the nonprofit's been open to the community, now serving just under 200,000 people a year.
We're just a very unique place, said Mulrooney, And one that I think the community takes great pride in.
As a child or an adult, there's something for everyone. I mean, who doesn't love a beautiful walk around the beautiful grounds to look at the animals and you're always bumping into someone there. It's a great space, said Selden.
Friday evening, 350 guests are expected.
To have all the local restaurants and caterers donate their time and their food to create this amazing event is huge, said Selden, And it shows just how special a place it is that everyone's willing to jump in and do that.
Bottles and cases of wine will be available for purchase with proceeds benefiting the museum.

Connecticut is the southernmost state in the New England region of the northeastern United States. As of the 2010 Census, Connecticut features the highest per-capita income, Human Development Index (0.962), and median household income in the United States.[ Connecticut is bordered by Rhode Island to the east, Massachusetts to the north, New York to the west, and Long Island Sound to the south. Its capital city is Hartford, and its most populous city is Bridgeport. Although Connecticut is technically part of New England, it is often grouped along with New York and New Jersey as the Tri-state area. The state is named for the Connecticut River, a major U.S. river that approximately bisects the state. The word Connecticut is derived from various anglicized spellings of an Algonquian word for long tidal river.

Charter Oak Project Part 71 : Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens, Stamford
The exact origins of this tree are undetermined but there is reason to believe it might be a Bicentennial Charter Oak from 1976. In 1976, in honor of the national Bicentennial, the state forestry bureau offered every town in Connecticut an offspring of the state's historic Charter Oak Tree. All the seedlings were grown from acorns collected from two first-generation source trees located in Hartford's Bushnell Park, The Foot Guard Oak and The Hoadley Gate Oak. Some towns never bothered to pick up their tree, a few other towns took extras, and the left-overs were held by the State Forestry Bureau for later planting. This tree, found on the grounds of the Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens in Stamford, is believed by some Bartlett old-timers to be a 1976 Bicentennial oak. There is also a possibility that this tree was acquired for or by the arboretum with help from UConn, either as a left-over 1976 tree or perhaps a different unknown source.
