Celebrate Solar Energy with Foster’s Grill Store and Cazeault Solar and Home.

On Friday, July 14th from 1:30-3:30pm Fosters Grill Store staff and the Cazeault Solar Supply team will celebrate their new green energy partnership with a barbecue unveiling the newly installed solar project at the business’s location at 107 Eastern Avenue. The always entertaining Billy will be on the grill showing off his skills on his favorite coal, wood and gas grills while the Cazeault team will be able to answer questions about the benefits of solar energy. Specials on great grilling accessories will be running in the store and guests can enter to win a grill basket full of staff favorite barbeque tools. Stop by for a sample from the grill and other family fun activities.

Foster’s Grill Store is celebrating its 51st year in business offering leading brand gas, charcoal and wood pellet grills, accessories, gifts, expert delivery and assembly and even outdoor kitchens. Owners, Susan (Foster) and Billy Aaron are local homeowners, parents and active supporters of many initiatives that serve to better the community, so the decision to go green was an easy one.

It has been a choice the Aarons are already very happy to have made. “Going solar makes sense to us as a business, as community members and, especially, as parents,” says Sue of their recent solar installation.

“We know that solar energy is better for the environment so it’s obviously better for our kids, now and as they get older. And the savings and rewards for producing solar energy just make sense,” Billy added.

What was even easier than deciding to install the panels the Aarons soon found, was the process for getting them in place.

“The Cazeault team could not have made this any simpler or less stressful, and it was a big project, at least in our minds,” said Sue. “We honestly have never experienced service like we have working with Tim and Sam. The whole thing was just painless. That’s definitely something worth celebrating.”

And celebrate they will. Come on by for a bite and check out this exciting new project.

Beverly-Salem Bridge…it’s not just for driving over

BLM_9106-Pano-Edit-Edit

My friend Helen drags me to the most unlikeliest places to photograph.   Last night we went to the Beverly-Salem Bridge for sunset and blue hour and you would think to yourself “meh” not a great scene to shoot.   BUT…it turned out to be a great place to photograph!  Lots of color and clouds, the kids in boats fishing on a summer night, the train going by AND we were treated by the moon rising on the other side (and me without my big girl lens!).  After all was said and done it was another relaxing night of photography, a beautiful summer night for being outside and another perfect night with my friend Helen!
