We were honored to welcome Mary Owen, who delighted us with her visit — and just so happens to be the daughter of Hollywood legend Donna Reed, known for her unforgettable roles in It’s a Wonderful Life, From Here to Eternity, and The Donna Reed Show.

Candy & Roger Boggs stopped by today—Candy’s folks once ran Claussen’s DX in Wilton. Roger wore a tribute tee he designed in their honor. When we admired it, he gave it to us—literally the shirt off his back.
Wilton’s past lives on in the kindest ways.

One of the best parts of the Wilton Candy Kitchen? Meeting folks like Don Mandelkorn from Vermont! 🍁 He runs a 5-generation maple syrup biz—Green Mountain Maple. He and my Uncle Paul had a great chat comparing Iowa farms to Vermont sugaring. Loved the visit, Don—enjoy the Brewers game! #candykitchen
