Walter Stewart’s Joins the NC Color Drop

Doug Stewart, (Vice President/Owner Walter Stewart’s Market), Chris Farley (NC Color Drop) Alex Stewart, (President/Owner Walter Stewart’s Market), Bill Egan (Principal NCHS, Chair NCSF)
The NCHS Scholarship Foundation (NCSF) welcomes Walter Stewart’s as a title sponsor for the third annual NC Color Drop to be held on March 25th, 2023, at 10:00am.  That Saturday morning, a sleek Bell407 helicopter, courtesy of HeliNY, will once again fly over the skies of New Canaan and hover over Waveny Park, safely releasing 2000 colored golf balls over a designated target.  Each golf ball will have an assigned number.  The lucky winners, whose ball lands closest to the target, will win one of the following special prizes:  a Momentum Transend Electric Bike, a Pet Portrait by artist Emma Sims, a season pass to the Steve Benko Pool at Waveny Park, or an 84 Sports gift basket.  The winning balls will be announced immediately. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the NCSF for need-based scholarships given to NCHS graduates.
Throughout the years, Walter Stewart’s Market has generously partnered with the NCSF and recognizes the long-standing community effort to provide need-based financial aid for NCHS graduates pursuing higher education at the undergraduate level.

Spectators will be allowed to view the NC Color Drop from a safe distance in Waveny.  Golf balls are available for purchase at www.nchs-sf.org/colordrop.

Featured Wine of the Week
Craggy Range Sauvignon Blanc
Martinborough, NZ, 2021

This highly-rated New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from Martinborough is a staff favorite. “Aromatic and complex, this white shows off pure white and ruby grapefruit, lemongrass, passionfruit and dried pineapple flavors at the core, but details of matcha, sea salt, fresh-grated ginger and toasted mint are what make an impression on the long, sleek, juicy and expressive finish.” 94 points, Wine Spectator
