BEVERLY CARVER

The 2008 Geauga County Maple Festival is dedicated in the memory of Mrs. Beverly J. Carver who passed away in January of the same year.

Beverly was a fixture in the community and it is only appropriate to honor her and her family at this time. Mrs. Carver was a two-time President of the Maple Festival, and she sat on the Festival Board of Directors for over 37 years. Beverly served as Executive Secretary to the Chardon Area Chamber of Commerce for 10 years and she was a recipient of Chardon’s ‘Business Person of the Year” award.

Mrs. Carver worked for the Sheriff’s Department and was the hostess at Main Street Café. She was also a member of the Chardon Square Association. A former Chardon Village Council member, she held the position of Village Clerk-Treasurer for 10 years. Beverly was deemed ‘one of the outstanding citizens of Chardon’ and we honor her here at the Festival today.

With our Parade theme of ‘Celebrating our Maple Legacy’, what better time to salute a true Chardon legacy.

The Maple Festival and Chardon Shade Tree Commission have teamed up and will plant a tree on the Square and dedicate it in Mrs. Carver’s honor thus guaranteeing that she will never miss another Maple Festival !

These two trees were planted along the main walkway on Chardon Square by the Chardon Shade Tree Commission and dedicated to the memory of Mrs. Beverly Carver as her family members gathered in attendance. At the request of her family, the trees will be decorated with only red lights each Christmas season to commemorate Beverly's red hair.
