It's a Circus Around Here!

The circus is coming!  The circus is coming!  I'm so excited the circus is coming to our area and we have partnered with them!

As part of the promotion, each restaurant in Utah was assigned to decorate their store in a circus theme.  There were three required elements - a big top, a tight wire, and a trapeze.  Check.  Check.  Check.  And a few more surprises!  It was so much fun decorating!

My favorite circus decoration!
An official Ringling Brothers clown came to our store for a private performance for our guests.  He was amazing and so funny!  They had supplied free circus prize giveaways, I added free meal cards and some Cows to the swag bags.



The circus has been on my bucket list for several years now.  This year I was able to check it off!  Yea!

Grilled Chicken Tasting Party


We invited a bunch of our favorite food bloggers to a Grilled Chicken Tasting Party.  Take a look at the festivities!

Party of 15
 

Bottom of the grill filled with mints and fake fire

Party gift for each of the ladies
Our blogger friends!



Quick lesson on how to make the mini fires:
1.  Cut crepe paper in 3 inches strips
2.  Place them together
3.  Fold in half, then fold creased edge two more times
4.  Cut in thin strips (I used Martha Stewart's fringe scissors)
5.  Crinkle loose ends to create texture

TaDa!  Fire!

**Actual party on April 16th.
