Guests partied on the creek for the second annual Shells & Bells event. They watched the holiday-themed lights parade on Spa Creek from the grounds of the historic Charles Carroll House & Gardens in downtown Annapolis on December 8th. About 300 dined on food from Madhouse and Salty Pony Oysters, specialty cocktails, a silent auction and music from the Bachelor Boys. The evening supported the Chesapeake BaySavers, whose mission is to restore the health of the bay. The organization focuses on saving and protecting sanctuaries and restoring the oyster population.
