Last Thursday we held our Casino Night with Local Industry Partners sponsored by Carpet One Floor & Home for the third year in a row! Set against the vibrant backdrop of Cultivated Cocktails’ newly unveiled Distillery and Tavern on Charlotte Highway, the occasion was nothing short of spectacular. Attendees were treated to an array of delectable libations, including the tantalizing Ambientini—a delightful twist on the classic espresso martini, infused with lavender syrup and coco nibs, courtesy of our esteemed bar sponsor, Ambiente Modern Furniture. Culinary delights abounded, with Mountain Madre serving up scrumptious burrito bowls, complemented by the delectable desserts from Mini Batch Bakery.
We had a variety of games being played throughout the evening – Roulette, Craps, Blackjack, and Poker. We’d like to thank all of our table sponsors – Builders FirstSource, cLearn LLC, Cason Builders Supply, Crossville Studios, Express Gutters, WNC – FCI Floors, HomeSource Design Center, Inc., Southeastern Tile Connection, and Laurel Windows, LLC.
The ambiance was elevated by the soulful sounds of The Jamie Hendrickson Quartet, whose funky jazz melodies provided the perfect soundtrack for guests to immerse themselves in the moment. We partnered with Carol Spags Photography to offer complimentary professional headshots, ensuring that every attendee left with a tangible memento of the evening’s festivities.
At the end of the evening, guest traded in their chips for raffle tickets to enter a chance to win amazing prizes such as gift cards to local coffee shops and restaurants, East Fork, certificate to LOTSAR’s Hilltop Event Center, a rug, electric drum kit and the crowd favorite – a Hellbender Paddleboard. It was an evening brimming with excitement, camaraderie, and unforgettable moments.
We couldn’t have done this without our Social Committee volunteers who helped make the night such a success! A big shout out to our Local Industry Partners for their involvement -LOTSAR, ASID, AIA, Green Built Alliance, MBAWNC, and the Asheville NC Area Chamber of Commerce. Looking forward to our next Local Industry Night in September!
