Fajitas, Margaritas, & Trivia
Every couple of months the Chamber Board of Directors plan an event to bring Chamber Members together. Over the last year, these events have been difficult to plan, especially because they revolve around being social and engaging with others. Last night the Chamber hosted an event over zoom with cocktail creations, a guided dinner with James Mahoney, Chef at The Cow and Sow, and ended with Trivia by Russell from the Fenelon Falls Brewery. It was a great success!
