The event started 31 years ago in the backyard of Bill and Sharon Blakeman. Bill, who’s from Vermont, and Sharon were digging up their backyard to install a swing set for their children and, before laying the new sod, they hosted a New England-style clambake for their neighbours. The event was such a success that there were requests for another clambake the following year. To protect the Blakeman’s lawn the clambake moved to the old Brighton Beach and, with one blip, it’s been held there every year since. Residents enjoy corn, clams, baked beans, and potluck contributions while greeting new neighbours and renewing old acquaintances. In addition to the great food and company, we will have entertainment again this year.
