Recalling an earlier tradition some Delta Chamber of Commerce members met for a Tailgate Party on August 26, 2010 on the Chamber grounds to celebrate the Centennial. It was also an opportunity to launch the “Feed the Bees” campaign in conjunction with Earthwise Society. For more on the campaign >>click here>>.
Many thanks to Delta Chamber Vice Chair Tudor Williams and Chair John Appleby, and to Earthwise Executive Director Patricia Fleming, for leading the “Feed the Bees” campaign, and to tailgate party organizer Leslie Abramson, a past president of the Delta Chamber, and the following sponsors for a good party: Beans from The Malenstyn Farm, Tomatoes from Casey Houweling, Corn from Peter Guichon, Beer(Red Racer) Murray Lott, Wine Jennifer Delf (The Delf Group), Corn Cooker from John Savage. Thanks as well to the Tail Gate Dixieland Jazz Band.
