Well we must say that if you didn’t attend the Adopt A Pet Wags and Wisker Event at Camp Copneconic on February 25th you really missed out. We had a fabulous time and encourage everyone to attend next years gala event!
The lodge at Camp Copneconic was beautifully decorated in a Marti Gras theme. Special Occasions happily donated the linens and the committee chose to use satin floor lengths in purple, greens and gold colors. They also decided to go with our popular spandex chair cover with a matching satin sash.

The main focus of the evening was not only to have fun socializing with friends, but also to help support Fenton’s no-kill Adopt A Pet facility with a silent auction.
The lower level of the Camp Copneconic lodge was brimming from wall to wall with gift certificates, baskets and luxurious items to bid on. I think everyone was having a good time trying to claim the highest bid.
After a wonderful meal and sharing time with friends we all left the event with happy hearts knowing that the money raised would be put to good use and the abandoned and abuse animals taken in by the Fenton Adopt A Pet shelter would finally be able to find a place to call home.

Heres a quick review of a few events we set up this weekend. They were beautiful and the couples were a pleasure to work with. Congrats everyone!!
First is a before photo of one of this weekends events at Swan Valley, a beautiful venue in itself! When you add chair covers to an amazing location you finish with. . . . kachow!
Simply gorgeous!! The couple chose a white standard chair cover with a burgundy red sash.
Here is another favorite. This wedding took place at the Captains Club at Woodfield in Grand Blanc, MI. The bride chose a white striped floor length table linen and our rouged white chair covers. She accented with a silver sash and napkin along with silver accent linens on her specialty tables.
We really loved how beautiful her linens looked with the fresh white snow gleaming through the large windows at the Captains Club.
