Agel's annual Black Tie Event 2008

Each year Jeff's company has their annual convention with in the fall. Jeff is over planning the entire convention -- with help of course. Everything from who will speak to where the Black Tie dinner will be to what MAJOR FUN event they will do for their diamonds. Last year, the dinner was held at Hotel Park City. The next day all the top income earners (diamonds) went on a horseback ride through the mountains of Park City and they had a 4 star hotel cater the luncheon in the woods, with an orchestra playing in the background. So neat. The year before the dinner was held at the Stein Erickson Lodge and for the next day event, they got up at the crack of dawn and went hot air ballooning over Park City, then they hired the US Ski Jumping team to come to Park City and put on a show for the diamonds. Then they all got to ride a bobsled down the mountain! This year the dinner was held at LaCaille!! It was soo beautiful! For the next day event, they got 32 Mustang GT's (racing ones), had them all decked out in Agel decalls, and had a police escort from the Grand America hotel to the Miller Moter Sports Park. Everyone pulled off the street for them to pass through. The police stopped all traffic so they didn't have to stop at traffic lights. Then they got to race the cars around the track! They also did some other acitvites there. Now you have to remember, some of these diamonds are from Australlia, Columbia, Portugal, England, etc and many have NEVER been on a horse, raced a car been in a hot air balloon, etc to this is an amazing experience for them---and us too!



Jeff & I, along with his assistant and her husband went to LaCallie a few months ago to pick the menu. We did a delicious job. We always have a hard time picking the wine list though! We just take what the resturant suggests! The only thing that is bad about rich food is the portion size. Notice that the steak is smaller than the lemon wedge...




This is what is was set up like for the dinner. I have yet to ever bring a camera along with me to one of these events. ME! The camera happy person that I am. So I pulled these pictures off of my friend's blog, who is the CEO's assistant. Maybe next year I'll wise up and take my camera with me.
