Wilton, Conn. – September 18, 2023 – Wilton Library is pleased to announce the return of its Casino Night FUNdraiser at the library on the evening of Saturday, November 4 from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. All adults 21 years of age and older are invited to be part of the action. During the event, the library’s open spaces will be transformed into a Vegas-style party with real gaming tables and dealers for a fantastic night on the town in Wilton.
“We are so excited to host our second Casino Night FUNdraiser, bringing the lights, sounds, and thrills of Vegas right to Wilton Library,” said Caroline Mandler, Executive Director of Wilton Library. “This evening is a great opportunity to gather your friends for a fun event, all for a great cause. Proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly to support our wonderful collections, programs, and services that benefit our entire community.”
“Last year’s Casino Night was a big success, so we decided to bring back this event with some new entertainment that we’re hoping everyone will enjoy, plus an Elvis impersonation contest to win two tickets,” said Jennifer Longmire, WLA Trustee and Development Committee Chair. “This is a unique and festive fundraiser, and we’re looking forward to seeing many of our loyal friends and supporters. We also hope new Wilton residents will join us, since this is a great opportunity to make new friends. Most of all, we sincerely thank all of our sponsors. Their generosity and support have made this evening possible.”
At the event, guests will visit gaming tables and play with pretend money while being treated to delicious gourmet food, top-shelf open bar with signature cocktails, prizes for the top winners, special entertainment, and much more. New this year: an Elvis impersonation contest to win two Casino Night tickets, a sports lounge, and an “everyone’s a winner” wine pull.
