What an amazing two weeks! Car Week exceeded everyone's expectations while both Carmel and BMW are celebrating 100th anniversaries. In collaboration with the surrounding communities, the Carmel-by-the-Sea Concours on the Avenue was a huge success. Thank you to all the businesses, small and large, for your support in embracing what has become the most significant week on the automobile manufacturers' and enthusiasts' calendars. For 10 days Carmel and the Monterey Peninsula were the focal point of the automotive world with visitors from around the globe joining us for events including the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, and the Quail Motorsports Gathering.
Next up is the always-popular Taste of Carmel, so make sure it is on your calendar. The festivities begin October 6 with The Bohemian Ball presented by Union Bank. If your business would like to donate an item for the silent auction, or be an event sponsor, please contact the Chamber. A portion of the proceeds from the auction will benefit the Soberanes Fire Relief.
Let's not forget what is still going on with the Soberanes Fire. We should be very proud of the wonderful community we have. Those of you who have volunteered countless hours and donated money, food, clothing and much more - to you and to the Firefighters - we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
