On September 16th, the Beverly Chamber of Commerce held its largest fundraiser of the year. This very successful, SOLD OUT event with the theme, Down By The Sea, was a casual, lively, and fun party. Held at the Beverly Lynch Park Carriage House with music by Ray Novack and Nick Consone, 120 people dressed in casual cruisewear, and enjoyed good company and delicious food provided by American BBQ, Desserts from Henry’s Market and beer/wine from Depot Liquors and North Shore Bartending. We also were entertained by our M/C Don Kelly from Wayside Trailers. Coldwell Banker sponsored the Salem Trolley, which provided a short ride to and from the parking lot. This event will support the Chamber’s efforts on behalf of business inBeverly. In addition, the Chamber is pleased to donate a portion of the proceeds to the Beverly Historical Society and the Carriage House Restoration Project.
