Long post alert as I’m just getting home for the night from the show and where to even start to thank everyone who has played such a key role in ensuring this show takes place each and every year. We are so grateful to each and every one of you! To our amazing creative partners who travel from near and far to showcase their amazing talents to our couples and their guests you truly are the BEST OF THE BEST! It’s crazy how fast time flies I look back at some of our vendors like Randy with Scuba One Travel and Chris with KHook DJ & Entertainment (just to name a few) and they have literally been at the show every year for the past 16 years…. We truly are grateful to be able to network together each and every year!

To my friends and family who put in endless hours in helping with every aspect of the show there is NO WAY this show could happen without you so THANK YOU! And to all of you who checked in today (texts, FB messages, snapchats, emails etc.) the over pouring of support does not go un-noticed and I thank you!

To Carl and his team of Hometown Elegance you knocked it out of the park again this year! Most folks don’t realize the amount of hours planning, prepping and work that goes into something like this but we sure do and we are blessed each and every year to have you apart of the show. To all of our sponsors, Stacy Lynn for MC’ing our show, our musicians, our guest speaker Terrica, Angie the creative genius with Simple Wolf for all of your help on the marketing/advertising side of things, the gals from Broadway Centre Spa & Salon for hooking a pony-tail girl up to curls today on the fly the list just goes on and on and again I can’t thank you all enough!

So to make a long post short THANK YOU ALL for attending the show. We hope to see you at our spring show and we greatly appreciate all of your support! We will be posting pictures soon so stay tuned!
