HOSPITALITY
NIGHT
JUNE 20,
2003
Hospitality Night is a "happy hour" for
all the vendors, members, and guests to meet, talk BRIAR, and just
schmooze. We met in one of the patios at the Best Western on North Oracle
in Tucson. Salsa and chips were donated by the Best Western, and EEgees
fruit slushies and Hoagies were donated by he OPPC for the enjoyment of the
guests. There was free beer, wine and soft drinks. It was about 100 degrees when the festivities began but managed to
cool down as the evening went on.
The Happy hour lasted until 7 PM, when
the some of the vendors opened up their briar selections in their private rooms
and members and a guests got to see and pre-purchase pipes before the
show.
