Mayor DeMaria Hosts Senior Summer Barbecue

Everett’s older adults gathered at the Connolly Center for a Country Western-themed barbecue

EVERETT – Mayor Carlo DeMaria and the City of Everett’s Council on Aging (COA) hosted the annual Senior Summer Barbecue on Friday, July 21, 2023, at the Connolly Center. Over 300 Everett residents attended the event, enjoying delicious, traditional barbecue like hamburgers and hot dogs (with vegan and vegetarian alternatives) prepared and served by the COA team and City employee volunteers. Recording artist and country singer-songwriter Kamryn Palmer and the band Classic Country entertained the gathering with spectacular performances, and Julie Kaufmann had attendees moving and grooving with interactive Country line dancing. A fun time was had by all in attendance.

“I’m glad we were able to once again host the annual Senior Summer Barbecue to bring our community’s older adults together to have a wonderful time,” said Mayor DeMaria. “I want to thank the Council on Aging and the many volunteers who gave their time to cook, serve, clean and be sure that all of the attendees were taken care of in every way.”
