- By Susan Shultz

DARIEN — Opus for Person-to-Person will hold its “Fun on the Farm” fall fundraiser at Silverman’s Farm in Easton on Saturday

Guests can stop by the the Bubble & Brew specialty mobile cafe serving baked goods, coffee and tea at check-in, and then visit the pumpkin patch and country market to stock up on seasonal favorites like Silverman’s apple cider doughnuts.

The event will be held from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m.

“The number of families who are struggling with financial insecurity due to the COVID-19 crisis is staggering and Person-to-Person’s resources are being stretched like never before,” said Alyssa Mahoney, OPUS for Person-to-Person family events board liaison.

“They need our support now more than ever so our goal in planning ‘Fun on the Farm’ was to raise funds and awareness of Person-to-Person while at the same time delivering a safe, fun event for our members, their families, and other families in our community,” Mahoney said.

Tickets are $35 per family for Opus members and $45 per family for non-members and can be purchased online. Space is limited and ticket sales close on Wednesday. Attendees will have VIP parking, admission with private entry to Silverman’s Animal Farm, a farm-themed goodie bag, and a profession­al family photo.
