Gold Coast Opener CDI, a First Class Show

Hospitality

The Gold Coast Opener management made a few changes this year in the entertainment category.  From the V.I.P. lunches, to the special awards given at the show, there seemed to be something for everybody.  

Following a “thumbs-up” from fashion policewoman, Shirley Johnson, Marco Bernal and Lisette Milner received gift certificates to her European fashion boutique, A’Dashi. Following the red carpet scrutiny, Mary Phelps hosted a wine and goodies reception at the jog. 

Dazzled by the rock star treatment at a press conference prior to the competition, CDI competitors (and judges, we have photographs!) let their hair down and enjoyed partying at the competitor’s bash hosted by Janne Rumbaugh.  Local and visiting businesses contributed to the silent auction held during the competitor’s party to benefit the Tsunami victims.
