Fabulous Food Show Comes to Cleveland

Food and wine!  Two of my all time favorite things all in one place?!! You know that I will be there with bells on!  Seriously though, the Fabulous Food Show returns to Cleveland next week, November 13-15 at the IX Center.  Celeb chefs, Sandra Lee, Tyler Florence and Bobby Flay will be in attendance, along with Cleveland's own Michael Symon.

Why should you be there? If you are planning a wedding, bar mitzvah or class reunion, a food show is a great place to find out the latest trends in the food world.  Tired of the same old chicken breast with the mystery sauce on top that is at almost every event you attend?  Find out what else is out there.

Event Expo 2009

Calling all event planners in the Northeastern Ohio area!  Head out to the House of Blues in Downtown Cleveland on April 30, 2009 from 9:00am-4:00pm for an informative day of networking and event ideas.  This event is completely free and you can register online here.

This year's speaker is Michael Cerbelli of the New York/New Jersey based Total Entertainment.  Let me just say that I saw Michael speak at The Special Event back in January and it was great!

Kudos to Event Source and Team Promotions for continuing to host this great event!

 

Proud of My City!

I am a day late with this post, due to my recovery from one of the coolest weekends that I've had in Cleveland EVER!!

Back in the early 90's when Cleveland won the rights to the Rock Hall, people across the country were shocked and appalled by the decision.  They felt that the museum would be better served in New York or Los Angeles.  In 1997, there was the first induction ceremony here in Cleveland.  Personally, I don't remember anything about it, except maybe Michael Jackson came?  I could be wrong.

Fast forward to 12 years later and Cleveland proved why we rock.  From free concerts to special events citywide, my city (that's right it is MY city) showed our visitors a good rocking time!  To top it all off was the Induction Ceremony!  I personally feel it was not too over done and just the right amount of glam.  I shrugged off being ignored by the paparazzi during my red carpet stroll, to enjoy cocktails with all the fabulous people.  Then to dinner and the start of the show.

Joshua Gunter/The Plain Dealer  

In my opinion,get rid of that every 3 year deal and let Cleveland have the induction ceremony here every year!  Cheers to all the wonderful vendors and companies who came to together to put on such a wonderful event!

Cleveland ROCKS!

I'm off to The Special Event!

I'm so excited to finally attend The Special Event this year!  What is The Special Event, you ask?  It is a conference for event professionals to get educated, network with peers, catch up on trends and renew their creativity all in one venue.  This year it is taking place in San Diego, CA which means I get to leave the snow for a minute.

Be sure to check back daily to find out about the latest trends in events and all the fun I'll be having!

My Favorite Event of 2008

There were so many great events this year, but I decided to feature my absolute favorite.  Please feel free to share your favorite event with us as well.

Tyler Perry's Studio Opening

 

Tyler's story of success shows that hard work will get you far.  And on top of that, Oprah was there.  If you have Oprah at your party, then that's saying something!
