Colt's Home for the Holidays:
A Cedar Hill Affair at Armsmear presented by UHY LLP

Colt's Home for the Holidays was an overwhelming success. Guests took self-guided tours of Samuel and Elizabeth Colt's historic home, music filled the normally quiet halls, Russell's Global Cuisine offered exceptional hors d'oeuvres, friends gathered to toast the holidays, and the evening concluded with caroling in the Colt's formal living room. As expected, it was a truly festive and unique start to the holiday season.

We would like to sincerely thank our presenting sponsor UHY LLP, the Trustees, staff and residents of Armsmear, and Aetna Foundation for making this event a reality. We would also like to thank Colt's Manufacturing and the Colt Collectors Association for each committing $2,500 to the restoration of the Colt Memorial at Hartford's historic Cedar Hill Cemetery.
