To the Editor:

On behalf of The Glass House, I want to thank the New Canaan community for making our 2026 Summer Party, held on June 6, such a tremendous success. It was a perfect early-summer day — sunny, warm, and made for being outdoors — and it was wonderful to see so many neighbors and friends turn out to enjoy the site. We were honored to welcome guests for an afternoon of art, conversation, and discovery across the property, including performances curated by Solange Knowles and her team at Saint Heron, featuring choreographer Kyle Abraham and dancers performed by Alysia Johnson and Catherine Kirk with music by Standing On The Corner, vocalist Malcolm Merriweather and Voices of Harlem: Marlaina Owens, Lucia Bradford, and Angelo Johnson, and pianist Artina McCain. It was a rare and moving combination of historic architecture and contemporary artistry.

If you’ve been approached to sign the petition overturning New Canaan’s summer restrictions on gas-powered leaf blowers, here’s what your signature actually does — and what petition organizers aren’t telling you. Your signature delays a decision that was already yours to make. New Canaan’s ordinance wasn’t rushed through Town Hall. It was debated publicly for years — through committee meetings, public hearings, Town Council meetings, letters to the editor, presentations, news coverage, and extensive public comment.
