In Pictures | A r.e.e.l. Holiday Happy Ours @ THEARC

Talk about event buzz!!!!

This year,  the Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus (THEARC) decided to super size their annual holiday party. Dubbed "A r.e.e.l. Holiday Happy Ours @THEARC" this year's holiday party hosts included Building Bridges Across the River (the nonprofit that manages THEARC), Happy Ours and the River East Emerging Leaders. There was so much excitement surrounding this event that the party actually sold out- TWICE! In the end, there were over 625 pre-registrations for the event called "the most epic holiday party east of the river."

Thanks to the TDF and Comcast two lucky attendees won a free laptop and a tablet. Everyone went home with free books, and the photo booth was a huge hit. There were free games, refreshments, costumes, and more. Happy Ours hosted the biggest hit of the night, the Snow Lounge -- an adults only holiday oasis with sips and sweets. 

Special thanks to the Washington Performing Arts Children of the Gospel Choir, National Hand Dance Association and DJ Beauty and the Beatz for providing great entertainment that had everyone in amazing holiday spirits. Occasions catering provided the hot chocolate, christmas cookies and crudités. 

All and all a great night! Until next year!
