2023-02-09 ALHAMBRA DAY AT THE SHRINE CIRCUS

On behalf of our Circus Chairpersons, John Vella, Gary DeCarlo, Cliff Dake and John Michniak, I would like to say thank you to all that made the February 9,  “2023 Alhambra Day at the Shrine Circus” a success!

Our crew consisted of Alhambra, Knights of Columbus, Shriners, Stellantis, GM and many friends of Alhambra.  We greeted, unloaded, seated, prepared food, served and put many smiles on the faces of God’s Special People!

We had 2982 reservations and 2012 guests entered the doors at Suburban for a 67% show rate. 

Shriners, it has been another great event!  Thanks for being at our sides and helping us in numerous ways.  Without the Shriners, this event would not be possible.

Special thanks to EPOCH Hospitality and Matthew Herschler and Paul Hess.  EPOCH was instrumental in making food donations happen, supplying the chefs to cook our guests food, …

Suburban Collection Showplace and Riley Stechschultz, and BoCo’s, Emily Moir, it has been great working with you.

Thanks to US Foods and Mark Minnick who donated hot dogs and buns.

Thanks to Northern Haserot and Steve Schmoeger who donated water and cookies.

I cannot say it better than one of our guests that talked to me after the event:

“Joseph, Grandma, Grandpa and I had a really incredible time today!  Thanks for all your Caravans do to put on such a wonderful event for the community”
