March to December 2021 Beth Beans Gilbert Kevin S. Putman Fred Beans Family Vice President of Dealerships Penn Color Inc. – Major Patron – Major Patron Dear Friends, On behalf of the Central Bucks Chamber of Commerce, we are pleased to present you with the 2021 Bucks Fever – Celebration of the Arts brochure. Over four decades ago, Bucks Fever was conceived by Chamber members to “Support the Arts through Business.” What started as a small handful of arts events over a short period of time has grown to include a variety of Chamber arts events and well over 400 community wide celebrations of the arts over a 10-month period. By uniting the business, arts and cultural community, the Chamber has synthesized the very best of Bucks County in order to increase tourism, augment the economic vitality of the region and celebrate the community’s rich, artistic and cultural heritage. Bucks Fever is solely supported by the business community and we thank all of the Benefactors and Patrons for their generous support. Their commitment enables us to give you this publication free of charge and to promote hundreds of arts and cultural events at no-cost to the host organizations. In addition, we distribute nearly 15,000 copies of this “in demand” publication to local businesses, individuals and tourists visiting Bucks County. We invite you, and those you know, to “Celebrate the Arts” by participating in the many events throughout the Bucks Fever season. Your participation enables the Chamber and the many organizations promoted in this brochure to continue the rich artistic and cultural legacy in our community for many years to come!
