“Spring Fling” Business Expo Hits A Home Run!
You don’t have to be a sports fan to know that if you attended the April 29th “Spring Fling” Business Expo you were networking with the finest. We had NO ONE on the bench that evening! Everyone was an MVP and “suited up” and ready to play ball! The fun began at 5:30 p.m. when 50 businesses had already “warmed up” and were ready for the first pitch of the night! Guests arrived and were happy to meet our business community, enjoy a great sampling of food and quench their thirst from beverages specifically poured by Jonathan Baron of The Regal Bar and various selections of Samuel Adams beer from the Boston Beer Company poured by Greg Schatell.
Talk about a sampling of great food selections for the full 9 innings of our evening – we’re happy to share that roster of team players: BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse, Bo-beau kitchen + garden, Cali Comfort BBQ, Edible Arrangements, Grove Pastry Shop and Custom Cakes, Marie Callender’s – La Mesa, Nonno’s Ristorante Italiano, Sanfilippo’s Pizza and The Hills Local Pub. No one left hungry and a HUGE thank you to these fabulous community partners!
The networking was fast and furious, the prizes provided by the businesses were too many to mention! The microphone was “hot” most of the time with business leaders constantly giving away raffle prizes! A LOUD round of APPLAUSE to the following businesses who joined our team and took a display table and participated in this exciting evening:
