Where North and South Park Come Together

The 2nd Annual SoNo Park Holiday Fest & Chilipalooza will take place on December 4th, 2011 from 11am to 5pm at the intersection of Thorn and 32nd streets in North Park.  And once again, Party Production Rentals will be a sponsor and the rental provider of this event.  The event features a chili cook-off, craft beers, live music, shopping and food vendors, and a kid zone. 

The unique flavor of this street fair is in part due to the "Chilipalooza" - where North and South Park restaurants compete for the "Best of the Fest" chili.  Attendees buy hand-blown chili bowls from San Diego Diego Ceramic Connection to sample the great chili selection. 

It promises to be a great time, so be sure to come out.  The owners of Party Production Rentals - Steve and Paula Cook - are the event chairs.  Proceeds of the event benefit McKinley Elementary School's arts and music programs.

Casa del Prado Balboa Park - Wedding

Balboa Park has a lot of venues for parties, weddings and events.  One of the most dramatic has to be the courtyards at Casa del Prado.  Here are some pictures from a midday wedding and reception we did this year.

We set up the reception in the inside courtyard

The upstairs balcony provides some great photo opps

The courtyard between the Casa del Prado and the Junior Theater is quite dramatic

Sweetheart table for the bride & groom

There are no chairs set up in these photos... the client had the caterer move the chairs from the ceremony area to help their budget...

The client used succulents as centerpieces

Belly bars helped make a nice area for the cocktail hour

The tables were set up in a star shape out from the center with market umbrellas for shade and effect

The archways provide a nice view of the event and a barrier from the park's foot traffic

Carrier Classic

Party Production Rentals was proud to be a part of the first Carrier Classic yesterday on the USS Carl Vinson.  President Obama was in attendance as the North Carolina Tar Heels defeated the Michigan State Spartans.

We weren't directly involved with the game, but one of our crews was excited to be there of the pre- and post-game action.  We provided some dance floor that was used to simulate a surface similar to a basketball court for one of the special exhibits on the deck, in addition to belly bars.

These pictures are from sbnation.com.  For some more great pictures of the event, click here.
