Alana Feld of Feld Entertainment presented a check to Kathleen Maher, the Executive Director/Curator for the Barnum Museum. The donation of $10,000 is for the restoration and preservation of the Barnum Museum which was damaged from the tornado that struck the City of Bridgeport last year. This will help aid the museum in opening sooner than expected. Mayor Bill Finch was named Honorary Ringmaster. Bill Evans, Senior Meteorologist at WABC-TV was Honorary Chairman for the Barnum Museum Gala which was held earlier.
