Pumpkins.. Chili.. Carmel Apples.. Oh My! (MPG Fall Fest 2017)
The state of being grateful :thankfulness
MPG expressed gratitude for their support
Our Fall Fest Client Event this past Sunday was a hit! With a theme all around gratitude, it was our hope to throw a big party, bring everyone out and slow down on life for just a bit. (Does anyone else feel like this year is speeding by?!)
We are blessed that so many of our clients, both past and present, came out to celebrate the season. We feel most fortunate that many of them have become loyal friends! This day was all about them, their families and showing gratitude for the relationships we’ve gained.
October 22nd: It was a beautiful day and the location couldn't have been more perfect. Gorgeous views of Thagards Lake surrounded the pavilion that served as the main hub of the party. With a team full of self proclaimed decorators, I think we managed to do it up. There was no shortage of Fall décor to make Mother Nature look even better! Hundreds of pumpkins, hay bales, handmade signs, garland and fall leaves turned the space into a picturesque setting! We think Joanna Gaines would have approved.
What's a party without food and drink? There was an array of delicious Chilis complete with a topping bar along with beer, wine and a warm, bourbon-spiked apple cider (along with waters, sodas and juice pouches for the kiddos)... To satisfy the sweet tooth, guests enjoyed a ‘make your own’ Caramel Apple Bar with three different types of caramel and chocolate sauces along with a variety of candies for topping! Mini M&M's, butterfingers, heath pieces, coconut...yum! Pretty sure I’ve got your mouth watering and your tummy growling!
I’m not sure who was more excited about the Bounce House, the kids or the adults! I spotted numerous grown-ups bouncing around and sliding down the slide! We get it. 😉 Children and parents alike decorated pumpkins, got their faces painted and played corn hole. With all the people playing fetch with the family dogs, I'm sure they got a good nights sleep!
Oh, and I cannot forget all the giveaways! We work with some pretty extraordinary local companies and small business owners on a regular basis and so many of them wanted to show their gratitude as well!
We whole-heartily want to send our thanks to the following companies and individuals for their generous gifts:
Southern Pines Brewing Company
Carolina Full Motion Photography
JR Mobile Detailing and Car Wash
Katrina and Patrick Bullard
Movement Mortgage
OVM Financial
It was truly a great time and we loved spending time with all our favorite people. If you're kicking yourself for missing it, stop it right now. We are in the planning stages of our Winter Client Event that will take place sometime in mid-January 2018 and we can't wait to see you then! ❤️️ MPG
Last, but certainly not least, thank you everyone who donated money to the t-shirt donation. Together, we raised $184 to Make a Wish Foundation!
