Release Party at The Union Oyster House
Although there is no doubt that a Manhattan awards ceremony would have been thrilling, I found myself elsewhere with the coincidence of throwing my first ever Beantown Tales book party at the Union Oyster House also on June 22nd. Reflecting the charm and tradition of Boston, no other place could have been better to celebrate “The Candy Roses of Cape Care’s” release. Having a catered menu of New England’s finest clam chowder, a raw oyster bar and favors of chocolate, popcorn and antique swirly lollipops, it was a fantastic night to remember surrounded with family and friends.
