Despite a stormy week, the clouds cleared, and sunshine peaked around the clouds, setting the perfect scene for an unforgettable Sunday. Our talented friends from the Tiki Bar Band provided the ultimate soundtrack while Back Bay Brewing quenched our thirst with local brews. Friends and family enjoyed oysters sourced from the Eastern Shore and mouthwatering BBQ from The Beach Bully. Thank you so much to our amazing sponsors for making this event possible! We are also extremely grateful to our Board of Directors and members for their tremendous and continued support.
