Members of the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce and the Manatee Chamber of Commerce united for the 3rd annual Blues by the Bay Wednesday evening at the Powel Crosley Estate & Museum. 

The party moved indoors with local vendors and businesses networking due to a storm but didn’t dampen the festivities. Doug Deming and the Jewel Tones rocked out in the foyer of the Powel Crosley Estate for guests.
