Bridgeton Chamber of Commerce Anniversary 🎉

Bridgeton Chamber of Commerce Anniversary 🎉

🌿 After six decades incorporation, the Bridgeton Area Chamber of Commerce, and friends, gathered at A Whiskey Array, a beautiful historic property on Shiloh Pike, to celebrate the milestone. The night was filled with revelry, and camaraderie. It was an opportunity to reflect on the past, present, and future of the Chamber. Episode Page: 🎉 https://bridgetonbeacon.com/chamber-of-commerce-anniversary-60 The evening began with a cocktail reception on the covered terrace of A Whiskey Array, as members and guests mingled in the sunset. The bill of fare exquisitely catered by Kate Lairson of BlackBird Local and homemade iced tea provided by Michelle DeMarco of Greenwich Teaburner’s Tea. All the while, and true to the Chamber’s mission, local businesspeople discussed cross-pollination of their services & wares. The Whiskey Array property, which has been recently restored and renovated, exuded an elegant and rustic charm. It served as a fitting backdrop for the Chamber's 60th anniversary celebration, as it embodies the spirit of growth, revitalization, and community that the Chamber has championed over the years.
