Tonight the event industry headed to Excelsior to attend Meetings: Minnesota Hospitality Journal’s 2011 Vision Awards at the Bayview Event Center.

The space was transformed by Festivities! into the theme Havana Nights.  Next to the signature drink station was a lovely carving by Metro Ice Sculptures, full of sparkling facets and the event’s logo.  Stogies on Grand provided cigars for guests to smoke outside and everyone enjoyed the gorgeous weather.  Creative food stations were interactive and delicious, from make your own nachos, to gourmet cheese wiz and paint your own chicken wings.  And the highlight of the night was handing out the awards to industry peers that work tirelessly for their community. 

Here are a few images from the night, enjoy!
