On August 14, we partnered with Spy Cider House & Distillery and Thornbury Laser Clinic to host our August After 6, and the best way to sum up the evening is WOW.
We had a record-breaking turnout of our amazing Chamber members, who showed up ready to socialize, enjoy some incredible food and cocktails, listen to great live music, and drink in the breathtaking views from the cider house. Spy provided a selection of their ciders and other offerings (you gotta try their Golden Eye), and owners Darcy Haggerman and Ian Smith opened up their beautiful property to us. A truly unbelievable spread of appetizers was provided by The Gate in Flesherton, who are offering a summer menu at Spy on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The Gate is also partnering with Spy to host an intimate Wednesday Night Dinner Series, and the next one is coming up on August 21. Find out more and get your tickets at www.spydistillery.com. Thank you very much to Spy for donating a spectacular raffle prize of products and a complimentary tasting experience that one lucky guest got to take home.
Co-host Stephanie Henderson from Thornbury Laser Clinic was there to tell us about all of the exciting products and services she offers — there was even a demonstration of her Vitamin IV treatment! Thornbury Laser Clinic provides Oxygeneo super facials, body contouring, laser treatments, injectable cosmetics, a range of IV treatments and much more. See their full range of services at www.thornburylaserclinic.ca, and be sure to follow them on Instagram to hear about their treatment specials. Two lucky winners went home with gift cards for an IV treatment, and a body contouring session.
Our toes were tapping to music from Ian Roberston, who stepped in at the last minute to save the day and are we ever glad he did! Keep an eye out for him at another Chamber event soon; once he busted out a Rheostatics tune we were instant fans. Topping it all off was an absolutely gorgeous evening weather-wise, which we know we can’t take any credit for — we’re just thankful the Chamber calamitous weather curse seems to have lifted.
Thanks to everyone who helped make it such a special night, and particularly to our fantastic members who always show up with their party shoes on and make these events so much fun. A special thanks to our 2024 Black Diamond Sponsors, JA Custom Homes and Vildhus Wellness Centre; their support helps these great nights happen. Stay tuned for news about our next one!
