Hola!
July 7, 2010Hola!
Or should I say hello! Still have Mexico on my mind since our “Mexican” themed family day celebration for one of our clients last week. Bright colored decor helped to create a festive ambience. Employees and their families enjoyed authentic Mexican cuisine while strolling Mexican musicians entertained the crowd. The kid’s activities included your standard balloon and caricature artist. However, we kicked it up a notch with a mechanical surfboard, a favorite with all the children. But the hit of the party was an “Amazing Race” teambuilding event we created for this very competitive group. Over 14 teams of six competed in 7 different activities ranging from Mexican word scramble to Chili Pepper eating contests. However, the most entertaining activity was the Wacky Bat relay. Individuals from each team placed their forehead on the top of a bat. Then, while keeping their head on the bat, they had to circle around seven times and race to the finish line. Needless to say, this activity was quite challenging for participants and very entertaining for spectators. The day ended with some awards for the top three teams and a Happy Hour out on the patio featuring Manny’s famous conqueso and mango margarita’s. Everyone had a great time. And, the client has already approached us about their holiday party. Back to brainstorming but first I think I’ll have to head to Manny’s for one of his margarita’s…..
