Ridgefield HamletHub’s Top 23 of 2023!

Joyful anticipation of what’s to come, and appreciation for what was, mixed with some good-riddance join forces as 2023 comes to a close. The New Year is a time of celebration and reflection.

Thank you for reading, commenting, and submitting stories (and trusting us to tell them). 

Here, we share HamletHub Ridgefield’s 2023 “biggest hits” - 23 of them, opened and read collectively by 694,411 people (wow!)

Some sad stories top the list. Local law enforcement accomplishments, the opening of À Table, Ridgefield Citizen of the Year, Battle of Ridgefield, and news about a Fairfield County Bank connecting authors are also on the list. Ridgefield Playhouse gala and Arts for Everyone initiative as well as Boys & Girls Club Great Futures event as among the most read stories. It’s always heartwarming to see the good works of a high school student making our top hits of 2023 (RHS student Savannah Collins organizes donation drive for Dorothy Day Hospitality House).

Locally yours in 2024, Ridgefield. May your hearts and homes be filled with warmth, laughter, and love. Thank you for being part of our online community.
