Blossoms At The Beebe Fundraiser In April

The following was provided by the Wakefield Chamber of Commerce:

Mark your calendars for the 5th annual Blossoms at the Beebe, a flower show, silent auction, beer and wine tasting for the Lucius Beebe Memorial Library and the Wakefield Chamber of Commerce on Saturday, April 28.

The two organizations will join together to sponsor the event from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Library, 345 Main Street, Wakefield. Proceeds from the event will go to the Beebe Book Fund and the Chamber’s community and civic projects.

A second event, a free family fun day, will showcase the floral displays and creative efforts of local photographers on the following day, Sunday, April 29 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Arts and crafts activities and a scavenger hunt are also planned from 2 to 4 p.m.

The evening event will feature creative flower displays designed by local florists and floral enthusiasts. A variety of wine and beer will be featured during the tasting, with hors d’oeuvres donated by several local restaurants. Dangerous Men will provide dancing music, and a cash bar will also be available.

All the floral arrangements featured at the event will be raffled on Sunday during the family fun day. Raffle tickets will be sold at both the Saturday evening and Sunday events.

This year’s festivities will include a silent auction that begins online on April 2^nd and bidders will be able to place their bid online at https://www.biddingforgood.com/blossomsatbeebe until April 25^th.

Anyone who would like to donate a service or item to the online and/or silent auction, or would like additional information about the auctions, can contact Diane Mulcahy at diane.mulcahy@comcast.net or at 781-246-7514.

Tickets for Blossoms at the Beebe are $30 per person ($40 at the door) and ticket sales will begin on March 12^th. Tickets can be purchased at the Lucius Beebe Memorial Library, or online at www.blossomsatbeebe.com.  The previous four Blossoms at the Beebe were well attended and this year looks to be another sellout.

All who attend the Saturday evening event must be 21 years or older.

Sponsorships opportunities are also available and donations of silent auction items are welcome. Sponsorship information can be obtained by calling Chamber Directors Lawrence Andrews at 781-224-3564 and Chris Barrett at 781-245-5011.
