GRAFTON – On November 3, from 5:30-7:30 p.m., the Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce’s Women’s Success Network held a “Commerce on the Common” event, sponsored by Millbury Credit Union.  Members of the community gathered together at the Grafton Common to treat themselves to some appetizers and beverages, while they simultaneously supported women-owned businesses and got some holiday shopping accomplished.

 

The night started at the Townhouse Tavern.  Everyone in attendance was given raffle tickets for giveaways from three different local shops, as well as the Tavern.  Appetizers and desserts were provided by Whittier Farms and the bar was open for refreshments. Attendees mingled and shopped at The Grafton Country Store, Quite Fetching and Off the Common Antiques; all women-owned businesses with something for everyone - even our furry friends.

All in all, there was a sense of joyfulness and holiday spirit as everyone was able to come together for a fun evening of networking, shopping and women supporting women.
