WOW...by all accounts, Car Week was a spectacular success. Concours on the Avenue and the Concours Tour experienced record turnouts, elite cars, amazing weather and flawless organization by the event principals, our local police force and volunteers. The collaboration, communication and teamwork with multiple agencies by our local law enforcement team was world class. We salute and congratulate the organizers of all the events around the Monterey Peninsula but particularly in Carmel.
Carmel Bach Festival has just completed their 78th season which was incredibly entertaining, successful and diverse. Executive Director Debbie Chinn indicated that over 300 volunteers along with the musicians help make the Bach Festival the best in class. Congratulations on another fabulous season.
Carmel schools are back in session. Best of luck to the students, teachers and administrators as they begin another year. We extend a special welcome to our new Carmel Unified School District Superintendent of Schools, Scott Laurence.
We hosted another very well-attended joint ribbon cutting recognizing the Carmel International Film Festival at Sunset Center earlier this month. Erin Clark and Tom Burns have done an outstanding job of creating an exceptional event that is scheduled for October 21 thru 25. We will look forward to seeing you on opening night.
And the Taste of Carmel is right around the corner starting October 1 at the Carmel Mission with many other related events running thru October 4.
Although the weather has been spectacular this summer, fall is historically one of the best times of year in Carmel. Please enjoy all that this special place on the planet has to offer.
See you around town.
