Jimmy Buffett Concert Tonight!
Tonight we will be hosting our second Jimmy Buffett concert of the season at Fischer's Restaurant in Belleville! In making the arrangements with the staff of Fischer's I can tell this is going to be quite the party! Apparently every year they host an outdoor "summer bash" type of event where they get a band, and have food & drinks and it's been a huge success so far every year. This year will be a little different since the entertainment will be a Buffett concert on the big screen for all you Parrot Heads out there! So put on your dancing shoes, and we'll take care of the rest. Oh and don't forget to grab a hawaiian Lei when you get to the party...all Parrot Heads must dress the part!
I'm behind on blogging!
What a crazy summer it's been for us! Between chasing our 10 month-old daughter around, a busy social calendar, and events events events I'm needless to say behind on blogging! To start out, I must share the good news that our August 9th event of The Wizard of Oz at Haskell Park was our biggest audience turnout yet! The park was packed with people of all ages enjoying the snow cones, delicious carmel corn popcorn, soft drinks, and even Wizard of Oz memorabilia for sale by a local dealer. Nothing adds to the perfect movie experience like popcorn & soda! Haskell Park is such a beautiful location, perfect for families and neighbors to gather on a nice summer night. It couldn't have been better, and so we thank those sponsors who made this event happen: Duke Bakery, Hayner Library, and The Friends of Haskell organization. It was a pleasure working with all of you, and we look forward to working with you in the future!
Now, on to another big event of the summer! On August 15th we traveled to the Lake of The Ozarks to put on another event hosted by Marine Max. If you recall they are the same company that hosted us at the Alton Marina in July. When we started this business in April I never thought we would be lucky enough in our first season to show an outdoor movie on the side of a cliff for people watching from the lake on their boats, but yep that's what we did! We started the day by deejaying at 2:00 for all the boaters who came out to relax with their families on the water. Although we were quite far away from our crowd of boaters, we could tell they were having fun as they danced to the music, ate & drank, and the kids even made a mini slip n slide out of a raft. When the sun went down, it was time to relax and unwind with the ever-so-popular classic "The Great Outdoors". Talk about the perfect movie for this crowd and the location! I have many memories of watching The Great Outdoors on my dad's VHS tape at home with the family when I was growing up. To see it on the big screen was awesome! These events we put on really are just as much fun for us as they are for you.
