The Ridgefield Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that Pamme Jones is this year’s Woman of the Year! Pamme is the Executive and Artistic Director of the Ridgefield Theater Barn, a role she has held since 2017. She also serves on the Ridgefield Arts Council, the Ridgefield Chamber of Commerce, and Ridgefield Independent Film Festival Board of Directors and is the Co-Chair of the Ridgefield Commemorates America at 250 Committee. Most significantly, she is a loving wife and mom of three; she and her husband, John, have raised their family in Ridgefield. And off the record, friends of Lounsbury House hint that Pamme is their unofficial Mrs. Claus —helping bring holiday magic to the North Pole-themed Stroll each year.
Pamme will be honored at the Chamber of Commerce’s annual Women’s Forum, which will be held on Friday, March 27th at the Salem Golf Club from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. This annual forum is dedicated to empowering and inspiring women in the community. This year’s theme is The Business of Balance, with programming centered on business and personal development strategies, while learning how to look and feel good through it all.

As part of the America 250 commemoration, the Cannon Ridge Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR), is hosting The Remembrance Ball on April 25, 2026, at the historic Lounsbury House in Ridgefield – and the community is invited to join.
The evening will feature an exceptional dinner prepared by Chef Forrest Pasternack, a Culinary Institute of America – trained chef and inspired by Revolutionary War-era cuisine. After dinner, guests will be invited to dance and take part in a charitable auction, continuing the tradition of generosity, connection, and shared purpose.
Adding to the historical significance of the evening, members of the Gold’s Dragoons of Westport will be in attendance to honor Lieutenant Colonel Abraham Gould of Fairfield, a fellow Gold’s Dragoon and Patriot who was killed in action while rallying his men during some of the fiercest fighting of the Battle of Ridgefield.
Founded in Ridgefield in 2021, the Cannon Ridge Chapter, NSDAR, is a patriotic, strictly nonpartisan, volunteer women’s organization dedicated to service and community engagement. “We’re a multigenerational group of women from many different backgrounds,” says Chapter Regent Jennifer St. Victor-de Pinho. “We don’t take ourselves too seriously. The joy comes from having fun while working together in service to others.”
