The Fairfield Beautification Commission is excited to announce that it has awarded the new Lincoln Center with the distinguished Rose Award for Excellence in Design.
Teresa and Jim Huffman, owners of the Lincoln Center, had a vision to transform the former Lincoln Elementary School into a vibrant community space. Teresa has a passion for transforming spaces into captivating experiences. After four months of renovating the space with their daughter Chasity and her family, they opened the doors to their first event: Ho Ho Ho Holiday Christmas event for families.
In February, they hosted the Winter Ball - Daddy Daughter Dance with 200 in attendance, and then a St. Patrick's Day Cookie Decorating class on March 8. They are also planning for their annual Easter Event in April. The latest renovation in process at the Lincoln Center is a restaurant scheduled to open this fall.
When the Lincoln Elementary School came up for auction, Teresa saw an incredible potential for the entire community making the Lincoln Center a true destination for connection and celebration.
We extend our sincere congratulations to the Lincoln Center and encourage everyone to visit and experience their upcoming events.
