Over 200 chamber members, guests, TFMoran staff, and their families enjoyed a beautiful summer evening with a barbecue on the front lawn of the Bedford office. “Red, White & Blue BBQ: Celebrating the Spirit of America” was this year’s theme. The tent provided by Special Events of New England, was decorated with patriotic banners, flags and balloons, along with red, white and blue stars. As part of the presentation, TFM’s president, Robert Duval spoke about the significance of red, white and blue, what it means to be a proud American.

The Wine’ing Butcher did a great job grilling steak & turkey tips, burgers and dogs, while The Inside Scoop topped off homemade apple pie with their delicious vanilla and strawberry  ice cream. The Royal Bouquet had two red, white and blue beautiful flower arrangements that were included in the door prizes, along with gift cards from The Wine’ing Butcher and The Inside Scoop. All three businesses are located at the French-Atwood Marketplace on Wallace Road in Bedford. In addition, two American flags and a blue TFM polo shirt went to some lucky winners.

Thank you to the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce board and members for joining us for such a fun event. And, a big thank you to all the TFM staff who helped to make this another successful event!
