The 2010 End of Winter Boat Bash- A Great Event and Wonderful Success!

Well the beef is all gone and the dishes are done, and all told we had a great turnout and big night for CCB at the 2010 End of Winter Boat Bash. With more than 100 in attendance we raised more than $1500 for the CCB Junior Program, but more importantly we got to have a wonderful night of community and got to honor one of Bridgeport's most dedicated sons, Capt. Bruce Williams.

We must thank all the dedicated staff and volunteers for the hard work they put in to make such a wonderful event:

•  Mike and Sherry Duffy- after three days of cooking, shopping, preparing, and promoting, You guys have to be the joint MVPs for the evening- You gotta let us know where you shop for your cape and mask, cause you're a super hero in our Book!
• The CCB Staff- Eleanor, Melissa, Mike and Matt and of course we can't forget you Jane- you guys put in a yeoman's effort with all your unpaid hard work- The Silent Auction, The CCB Program, The 2010 CCB Bull Roast were all hugely successful because of your hard work and dedication- Thank you!
• John and Ron of Cheers Catering- Thank you for helping us procure a monstrous chunk of meat for a delectable culinary experience- Ron was at the pit at 7AM and John stayed til 2 cleaning up- Thank you both for all your help and hard work!
• Kelli's Cakes- If you missed eating it, you can't miss the photo of this work of art- The butter cream frosting, The Mini-Buxton on the Bow of a Hunter and the amazing artistry in decorartions made this the hit of the party!
• The Sun Kings- Mark and the guys once again played a fabulous show and warmed the night up with the cool sounds of the steel pans and the Caribbean music- It's just wouldn't be a Boat Bash without you- thank you!!!
• All the donors, contributors, businesses and organizations that helped raise funds for the CCB Junior Program and provided us with so many awesome prizes and submissions for the CCB Silent Auction and the CCB Raffle, you guys rock!
• Ryan and the Fayerweather Crowd who helped us get a great venue for this event and helped us with a boat load of support to make it a success- Thank You! You can't beat FYC for a good old fashion Boating get-together! We certainly appreciate it, but from all accounts we may have to move to a bigger venue next year because of how big this event is growing- it's all thanks to you!

And for all those who joined us, got their memberships, purchased Buxton Bucks, contributed and much much more- Thank you one and all for making the night one for the record books and wonderful time for all!
