Events by Cindy has been organizing and hosting Women’s events for over ten years!
We started with a “Girl’s Day Out” at Capers in Downtown Belleville which was a fun day out where women shopped, nibbled, enjoyed a talk by Natropathic Dr. Tanya Lawson and pampering by Dianna Cairns team from Polish Day Spa & Salon and grabbed a bit of swag.
From there I expanded “GDO” and moved the event to Linguine’s Italian Restaurant in Belleville and added a sit down three course lunch, a fashion show by Brandy Calvert Ringelmann of Off the Hook and a charity raffle basket with proceeds going to a Women’s Shelter. I remember the joy and energy of this day, I loved it.
The idea of doing a women’s show was exciting and I was pleased to be invited to participate with the Quinte Home Builders Association at their annual home show in Belleville. In the upper mezzanine we showcased products and services for women, women (and men) were pampered, we had fun in a Photo Booth for head shots and a bit of music according to the local newspaper “stole the show”. It was so fun. The “Quinte Women’s Show” was born.
For the next six years, I was thrilled to bring the Quinte Women’s Show to the Trenton Arena and partnered with the Quinte West Chamber of Quinte West Chamber of Commerce the weekend of their Home & Lesiure Show. Local women business leaders were invited to participate in a three day show. We had so much fun with a fashion show, great food vendors, Zumba classes, massages, manicures by Dee Kettle of DeeVa Spa and so much more. One year we enjoyed wine tasting with Piero Di Pietrantonio from Casa-Dea Estates Winery.
Fast forward to today. After a few years to take time to build our new home in Prince Edward County, a pandemic and a bit of life changing family health needing my attention…I was ready to plan a fun day out for women!
I will be forever grateful for Sherry Karlo of Karlo Estates for hosting us for our first Wine, Women & Song in April of this year.
What a great day we had…to enjoy shopping, gnoshing, networking, zen moments, a guest speaker, pampering, swag and live music. And of course great wine!
On October 5th we will be doing all that and so much more. I am excited for our guest to enjoy Wine, Women & Song - Casa Dea Estates Winery and to move this one day event to other wineries in the future.
Cheers to enjoying our friends and a day of fun.
