Spring Party was the name, Coney Island was the game…literally. Among circus game booths, under Event Ignition\u2019s<\/a> twinkling lights and their colorful, light-up bracelets, and sporting some of Chic\u2019tique\u2019s<\/a> finest boardwalk outfits, McNay\u2019s 2016 Coney Island Spring Party was a success, which wouldn\u2019t have been possible without the continued support of Merrill Lynch<\/a>, Bank of America<\/a>, and our chairs: Emma and Rene Farret!<\/p>\n Our marketing materials were created in-house, in full Coney Island fashion, with the support of our sponsors Prism IT Technologie<\/a>s and Dahill Office Technologies<\/a> to help make them possible, and the guests flooded in on Friday night. They walked into the AT&T Lobby and through Great Events\u2019<\/a> brightly colored linens, on which sat many fabulous silent auction items from Kendra Scot<\/a>t, Whataburger, Energy Fitness<\/a>, and other local businesses.<\/p>\n Event Planner Jamie Waltman with Cordially Invited<\/a> brought the vision of Coney Island to life by contracting Circus Picnic<\/a>\u2019s talented acrobats, fire dancers, a living statue, and a knife juggler. Guests tapped their feet and full-out boogied to the tunes of Wino Vino<\/a> sponsored by Musical Bridges Around the World<\/a>. <\/p>\n Among all of the excitement, our Coney Island guests wanted for nothing. Spice of Life<\/a> provided a Coney Island-inspired menu alongside beer graciously donated by Alamo Beer Co<\/a>., and Juniper Ta<\/a>r kept it fresh at the drink station with three boardwalk-inspired cocktails — the Coneycicle, Stilt Walker Lemonade, and Coney Island Iced Tea.<\/p>\n The whole night was filled with top-notch entertainment and everyone looked amazing in their Coney Island best. http:\/\/www.mysanantonio.com\/entertainment\/things-t…<\/a><\/p>\n Yelp<\/a> also made an appearance after being an awesome partner who worked with us in getting the word out through social media and checked guests in at the party.<\/p>\n And at the end of the night, the guests were sent home with a tasty cookie snack courtesy of Cookie Cab<\/a>! <\/p>\n The San Antonio Curren<\/a>t photographed all the guests that stepped up to their eye-catching photo booth, so don\u2019t forget to go check out all of those pictures here! http:\/\/photos.sacurrent.com\/moments-coney-island-s…<\/a><\/p>\n And how did we get those strings of carnival lights up there? Sunbelt<\/a> gave us the lift we needed to reach our \u201chighest\u201d potential! <\/p>\n Last but certainly not least, we\u2019d like to extend a special thanks to the Pichler Family, Traci Nix, and Emma and Toby Calvert for their tremendous amount of support!<\/p>\n Below is the video from Circus Picnic of the entire event.
