Crafts & Cocktails: From coastal lighthouses to the lanterns that launched Paul Revere’s midnight ride, discover how light has carried messages across dark waters and city streets throughout time. 

Explore historic incidents when light was used by mariners and American patriots as tools of warning, coordination, and resistance—while sipping a refreshing glass of our colonial-inspired “Paul Revere’s Punch.”

Then craft your own beachy twine-wrapped glass lantern to take home and enjoy.

The Huntington Township Chamber of Commerce Women in Business Committee invites you to “Hats Off To Us” an evening to celebrate all the hats women wear daily. 

We encourage attendees to wear a hat to the event. We will be discussing the importance of letting go of the old and bringing in the new routines and practices to keep our work and personal lives balanced. This evening will be a great way to share and learn how all women can manage and control the many hats they wear!
