Open house at Connecticut Governor’s Residence on Dec. 8-9

Gov. Ned Lamont and First Lady Annie Lamont will welcome Connecticut residents on Dec. 8 and Dec. 9 to 33rd annual holiday open house at the Governor’s Residence in Hartford.

The Governor’s Residence will be decorated for the season and open to the public for tours. All of the decorations are being donated at no cost to the state by the Connecticut Greenhouse Growers Association, the Nurserymen Association, Jones Family Farms, Kathryn Hunt Studios of West Hartford, and students from Lyman Hall Future Farmers of America.

The open house will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and the Governor’s Residence is at 990 Prospect Ave. There is no admittance fee and tickets are not needed, although monetary donations will be accepted on behalf of Operation E.L.F., an annual fundraising campaign of the Connecticut National Guard Foundation.

“I love having the opportunity to continue this annual Connecticut tradition at the Governor’s Residence,” said Gov. Lamont. “Annie and I are happy to invite everyone to join the festivities and view the seasonal Christmas trimmings that were generously donated by Connecticut growers and small businesses.”
