The Mansfield Chamber of Commerce hosted a chilli/bean fundraiser dinner on Saturday evening. The event drew a large crowd of people and raised enough funds to help cover the costs of this year’s Christmas Parade.
Mansfield Mayor Mike Gipson commented on the success of the event by saying, “great night, great music and great friends.” Everyone who turned out enjoyed the food and the musical talent of local bluegrass band, “Just Us.”
Chamber members Amanda Wilson and Rick McDaniel of McDaniel Embroidery donated items for auction. Other chamber members including Beverly Lyons, Kellie Copland, Sheri Hopkins and Ann Blythe worked hard to make sure the event was a success.
