The La Mesa Chamber of Commerce hosted its second annual Summer Bash, a business networking event, on Aug. 12. The event attracted 47 chamber members, each of whom had a table to show off their business.

Ten restaurants offered samples of their food, and the event also had two wine sponsors and one beer sponsors. Guests and other members of the public were also welcome to attend the event.

The Summer Bash is one of two annual events the chamber hosts each year. The next networking expo is the second annual Spring Fling, which will be held Thursday, April 28.

“We are confident that these two new events that we have added to our annual roster of activities have accomplished what we have intended — to offer our chamber members an opportunity to spotlight their goods and services at an affordable price in a friendly and fun-filled arena that allows for a high-energy evening,” said Mary England, CEO of the La Mesa Chamber of Commerce.
