Bird Houses for Habitat for Humanity

    Come to Madison to Vote for your favorite "Best of the Nest" Bird House!  Voting is by Silent Auction, so you might even be able to take your favorite Bird House home.

    As part of the "Raise the Roof - Habitat for Humanity Day" in Madison CT on May 7th, the Best of the Nest Silent Art Auction will benefit the current Madion Cares Sponsored Habitat for Humanity Build in New Haven CT.

    Local artists have uniquely decorated and donated wood bird houses for the silent auction.  The bird houses are on display in various locations throughout Madison, including here at our Tidewater Inn, and silent auction bid boards are attached to each bird house.  Bids are welcome all the way up to May 7th, the day of the festivities on the Madison Town Green, when all the bird houses will be brought together at the green for final bids and awarding to the silent auction winners.

   I've seen a few so far, and choosing my favorite is not going to be easy.  They are all so unique, with a wide range of styles to satisfy every home design plan.  As different as each artist is from another, I find it fascinating to see how different all of the designs and interpretations are. From traditional, to quirky to contemporary, you'll find one to fall in love with for sure, and the birds in your neighborhood will be delighted to find new real estate to move into.
