A clear summer evening, laughter over a glass of wine, and a remodeled 1910s home. What more could you want to help you wind down from the week?
On Thursday, July 22nd, about 60 people chose to spend their evening in just such a way. Starting at 5:30pm, people gathered at the home of Carrie and Gary Havranek, homeowners of the newly renovated Moltrup Mansion on 8th Ave. They served an array of wine, appetizers, and chocolate fondue for dessert in their lush backyard while docents offered guests tours through the beautiful house.
“It was a high energy, fun evening!” Carrie reflected. “From the enthusiasm of the docents, to guests dancing to the player piano music, everyone had a great time!”
A couple of special guests also attended the event - Dick Zuberbuehler, grandson of Mr. Moltrup himself, and his wife, Rae Nancy.
The event served as a fundraiser for the Beaver Falls Community Development Corporation. Attendees donated $100 for their tickets and the proceeds went to the corporation’s operating expenses. The BF CDC supports and sponsors a wide variety of community-led projects, all aimed at making Beaver Falls a better place to live, work and do business.
