THE COVE GOES WESTERN

Presented by the Morgan Hill Chamber of Commerce

Over 200 community members and business people , wearing cowboy attire , enjoyed an evening on the high seas with Rich Firato and his merry crew at Morgan ’ s Cove . The event was a fundraiser in support of and to kick-off the Chamber ’ s yearly Friday Night Music Series which is held at the Community Center . This year the series began on June 14th and will run until August 20 . Several entertainers took to the stage and played music to delight any cowboy , or girl . An amazing blend of historical eras with swashbucklers and broncobusters , this event was a success all around . Food for the evening was provided by Fire 4 Hire .
