The Connecticut Carwash Association’s 13th Annual Golf Classic, September 21, at the Tunxis Plantation Country Club in Farmington, was the background for a picture perfect day of golf and camaraderie, according to event Chairperson Todd Whitehouse. “We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day,” said Whitehouse. “It certainly was a great event and one I look forward to each year.”
After an 11am shotgun start, nearly 70 golfers played 18 holes and enjoyed a hearty lunch on the course. A highlight of the event occurred during the reception when CCA Lobbyist PJ Cimini and CCA President Joe Tracy presented State Representative Kathleen Tallarita, representing the 58th Assembly District, with the association’s Legislator of the Year Award for her support of small business.
Tallarita graciously accepted the award and shared some of her background and beliefs with the group.
