On the last day of 2019, we hosted an End of Prohibition: Masquerade Affair to ring in legalization properly in the new year. Also serving as the one year anniversary of our brand launch, we wanted to create another fun experience for the community. Since this was such a big occasion, we wanted to ensure our guests were fully immersed in not just the enjoyment of the plant but in recognition & celebration of how far we’ve come in fighting for legalization.
Once again, we brought in Nate of Johnson Ice Studios to create a special ice sculpture for our guests to enjoy. The finished piece was a sculpted leaf with a base that can serve 4 guests at the same time. Thank you to our flower sponsor, All The Exotics, for bringing in the greenery!
Thank you to Cry Baby Sweets for making beautiful arrangements for our sweets table, Heidi’s Happy Treats & El Chingon for the savory munchies, Petal & Love Cork Screw for tasty beverages, Boxed Water for keeping our guests hydrated, Smokepost CBD for our trusty cbd bar, Professor Dab for the dab bar, and Eli’s Cheesecake for all the cheesecake we could imagine!
Yanna Cello, a trap cellist, lit up the crowd with her cello & trap mashups and the Brazilian Swag Dancers helped us ring in the new year in style as they shared the dance floor with our guests. Upon the stroke of midnight, guests were encouraged to remove their masks as a symbol of the end of prohibition in Illinois.
Thank you to our guests who chose to celebrate a special time with us and we are grateful for our vendors - Johnny’z infuzed, Llama Edibles, High Chic Society, Chummy Edibles - our DJs Dewey Lo Hace & 3Snapz, our staff, venue, and security guards who helped make this a successful event for all of us!
