An All Local Party -- Golden Girls Style
Redlander and long time About Redlands supporter, Christina Walker, threw a party worthy of remembering. Her theme, Golden Girls -- her vendors, all locally sourced!

Christina's guests dined on artfully curated Charcuterie boards, known as grazing tables, created by owner Saundra Garcia of Refined Cravings. The cocktails flowed on “Stay Golden” vibes via the Orange Blossom Bar Cart, which has more than just spirits to offer! Kathleen Liess and Shelley Brassfield, owners and operators of Orange Blossom Bar Cart, added the perfect Golden Girls themed photo booth. This was particularly fabulous because it allowed guests to take memories home with them. Lastly, the oversized yard games recreated the famous Shady Pines Retirement Home activities for Christina's guests to enjoy outdoors.

The party couldn’t have felt complete without the tropical atmosphere created by Marce Marcella Lopez of Balloons By Marce and Crista Downey Photography who captured everyone celebrating as their favorite Golden Girl.
Christina told us, "Thank You for Being a Friend was not only the theme for this Golden Girls Party but also a celebratory message of gratitude from me directly to the local female business owners of Redlands."
