Childhood Fantasies

Members of the Orange County chapter of Meeting Professionals International reverted back to their childhood as they relived some of their childhood fantasies at the Discovery Science Center in an effort to raise funds for their continued educational programs. Once inside, all the guests recieved a photo passport (courtesy of Four Quick Clicks) and were then escorted to the Cube Terrace where they stepped into a jungle explorerer fantasy where they enjoyed cocktails and a "hot" performance from a fire performer (Courtesy of Background Productions).

Once inside, guests were encouraged to bid the night away on a large selection of silent auction items while enjoying delicious comfort foods (courtesy of Colettes Catering). It was a circus inside, actually to be more specific, it was a Carnival of the Mind where unique Carnival like characters roamed the floor and strolling tables (courtesy of Talented Tables) showcased auction items.

After a well balanced meal of grilled cheese sandwiches and mini burgers, the guests could step into the candy bar and fill bags full of candy to their hearts content (courtesy of Candee by Sandee). As if the candy were not enough, upstairs even more sweet treats awaited our guests such as miniature cupcakes, carmel apples and minature donuts provided by The Fry Girl.

The Childhood fantasy would not be complete without living the all-star sports dream where guests can shoot goals in virtual hockey, play fast ball pitch and pose with a human baseball trophy.

Fun was had by all as this proved to be the most successful MPIOC fundraiser ever in terms of dollars raised!
