Hope everyone is
enjoying your spring so far. Are you ready for Mother’s Day? How
about starting it off a day early and treat your mom to an all you can eat
pancake & sausage breakfast for only $5. On Saturday from 7am
to 11am, the HB Host Lions Club will be cooking their annual Pancake Breakfast
in Lake Park (12th &
Lake St, downtown). There will be a Pancake Eating Contest, Pancake
Relays, Pancake Art Demo & Contest and Photos with Miss Huntington Beach
& Court. Also displays by City Parks & Rec, HB Police and Fire
Departments and much more! Pop on over and enjoy this popular event!
For a
bit of education, next Wed, May 13 from 11:30am to 1:30pm our Chamber of
Commerce will be offering another free
business workshop hosted by Microsoft: “The Right Technology for Small
Business”. This seminar will review the technology that will help you
reduce your technology costs by 40%. They will review real life scenarios that
plague most small business owners. Office 365 and its mobility features will be
reviewed and demonstrated. They will also talk about what type of Internet and Voice
connections are available and what VoIP actually is. Please join at the Chamber
office and learn how to run an efficient business.
(they even provide lunch). I’ve been to several of them so far and
have learned something useful each time. RSVP your spot:
714-536-8888.
Coming
up the following weekend, May 15-17 is the annual Duck-a-Thon at the
pier. This event always attracts a lot of people as everyone gets a
kick out of watching hundreds of rubber duckies get dumped off the pier and
“fight” their way to shore. The details for all three days of activities
can be found on my calendar: http://thelocalhb.com/calendar.html.
Not only
do the Lions Club serve up pancakes, but on May 27 you can join them while the
Waterfront Hilton serves them up (and guests) wine at their Wine Tasting
fundraiser to support local community charities. It is 6-8pm and for $25
you will sample wines from the Shade’s California Collection. Hors
d’oeuvres will be available along with a fine selection of small bites that can
be purchased at nominal prices. There will be opportunity drawings and valet
parking will only be $3 for the event. You can pay at the door, but
please rsvp your attendance to 714-328-8661 or hblionsclub@gmail.com.
The Hilton always does such a nice job at these wine tastings. You don’t
want to miss this chance to have a fun evening and support charity while doing
so!
And
finally for this pass, we are pleased to report our vip tickets for Wags-n-Wine
sold out in less than two weeks once it was announced ticket sales were open!
We only have a couple vendor spaces left as well. I know once again this
event is going to be awesome. Come on, where can you go to enjoy top
notch food and wine/beer AND have your four legged companion with you!!
June 14 is the date you want to mark on your calendar. The general
admission is a great deal, so don’t fret. Go to the website, www.wagsnwine.com
and check out the vendors who have signed up so far and photos from past
events.
And
here is wishing you all a happy May.
