Lighthouse and Hyatt Will Team Up For Dedication Event Sept. 22

     Cambridge, Md. -- Through a new partnership, the Choptank River Lighthouse Society and the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Resort are teaming up to host a dedication ceremony for the lighthouse on Sept. 22.

     To mark its 10th anniversary, the four-diamond resort is playing a key role in celebrating the newest addition to the city’s waterfront—the Choptank River Lighthouse. The lighthouse society has expressed its appreciation to the Hyatt, which will provide all the food and set-up for a ticketed dedication ceremony on Sept. 22, with all proceeds going back to the lighthouse maintenance fund. 

     The replica of the Choptank River Lighthouse will be officially dedicated during a ceremony and reception on Saturday, Sept. 22 at Long Wharf in Cambridge. The general public is invited to gather at Long Wharf Park or on the water to watch the official lighting of the lighthouse at dusk.

     Anyone who buys a ticket to the Lighthouse Grand Opening Reception will enjoy a cocktail reception and dinner provided by the Hyatt, the official dedication ceremony, tours of the lighthouse, and the auction of an original painting by George Wright.

     The grand opening ticketed event starts at 4 p.m. for tours and 5 p.m. for the reception. The tax-deductible tickets cost $65 per person or $35 per person for current lighthouse donors. All proceeds from ticket sales go toward construction and maintenance costs of the lighthouse.

     To buy tickets, call the Dorchester Chamber of Commerce at 410-228-3575 or Wright's Art & Framing at 410-228-7977. For updates, visit www.choptankriverlighthouse.org or the Choptank River Lighthouse Facebook page.
