“We knew the event had to go on;” said Jenny Esno, CDP Board Member and Event In Charge, “We work so hard to put on the events that we do, and support the charities who help children, adults and animals alike… the decision for us was in the end for them.”
The Clearwater Chamber of Commerce is still having their Open House at their headquarters from 4pm-6pm on the 11th, as a kick-off party before the Miracle event starts.
