After successfully putting on ten events last year, the Onset Bay Association hopes to have an even bigger and better 2015.

The Association held its annual meeting Thursday night, where it reviewed its events of 2014, such as the Easter Egg Hunt, Onset Blues Festival, Illumination Night, and the Summer of Love Concert Series, while looking at the year ahead.

"We need to have more of these events where people can come for a low amount of money, spend the day and have a good time," said Onset Bay Association President Eleanor Martin.

Martin and OBA Vice President Kat Jones said the group plans on running all of this year's events as well as adding some new ones.

Jones spoke about the Onset Music Festival, a concert she is organizing with local musician Grace Morrison that will showcase local talent.

Martin said she hopes to double the size of the Chalk Festival that was held for the first time this summer and was considered a success.

Association Treasurer Linda Hannon spoke about the finances of the Association, which took in just under $50,000 this year. She said that number was consistent with years past. The Association had a net loss of nearly $4,000 for 2014, some of which could be attributed to the Onset Blues Festival having to endure torrential rain in August.

Hannon said that the Association had about $30,000 in cash at the end of the year with half of that dedicated to projects such as Onset beautification and the other half going to toward this year's event committees.

About 50 people attended the meeting at Salerno's on Thursday, where they were entertained by the stories and songs of Jackson Gillman, local storyteller and "Stand-up Chameleon."

Attendees also heard from a soon to be new business owner in Onset. Karen Scott said she plans to open a yarn store, Grace and Mable Yarn and More, in April and hopes to be open year-round.

The group also heard from Harbormaster Garry Buckminster, who spoke about future projects such as rebuilding the Onset boat ramp and repairing the Onset Pier. Buckminster also spoke about the water taxi service that this summer shuttled around 400 people between their anchored or moored boats and Onset village.

"Our beach is the jewel -- it's what draws people here," said Martin. ""Once people come and see this beautiful area they'll want to come back."
