Grand Opening Success!

The Grand Opening was a huge success! We had a great turnout even though it was drizzling rain and the temperature dropped quickly this morning.

There were drawings every 30 minutes in which all the door prizes were handed out. A big congratulations to all of our lucky winners! I hope you enjoy using the Watkins products.

Here are some photos from the big event.

When you entered the door, there was a table set up with info cards to fill out to enter the doorprize drawing, and catalog folders.



In the dining room was a huge spread of food to sample the Watkins products. These pics were taken in a rush just before everyone arrived, so not all the food was out yet.

On the left side we have grapes and vanilla fruit dip on the tiered stand, apple and orange spice muffins, monkey bread on the cake plate, salsa and sour cream cheese ball with crackers beside that. In the middle is a basket of regular and rosemary bread. Under that steamer lid was hot crab dip, sausage balls and buffalo chicken dip. Those three were a HUGE hit! The crab dip was devoured. I would definitely make it again. Above the steamer are the roast beef rollups with Tomato Horseradish spread.



On the other side of the room was pasta salad, veggies and Salsa and Sour cream dip:



In the kitchen was a hot chocolate station where we handed out samples of all the seasonal flavored hot cocoa mixes and chai latte. Everyone raved about the cocoas.



There were different stations set up around the house where everyone could sample the products. On the living room sofa table was the Natural Cleaning Products station.



This table held the Personal Care items and the hostess tree. If you booked a party today you got to pick a gift from the tree!



Here were all the prizes and giveaways set up on the fireplace. The grand prize baskets were a huge hit.



Along the bar was more information and product demos. I set up the cooking spray demo comparing Watkins to Pam and the vanilla demo comparing Watkins to McCormick.



And finally, in my bedroom, I set up the "In the news" station, where you could read what your favorite magazines have said about Watkins products.



I had such a wonderful day, and I'm so thankful to everyone who came and browsed all the samples. I do hope you will call me if you are interested in hosting a Good Tastings party, or if you are interested in signing up to become a Watkins Associate. I have already had interest from two friends who want to sign up! I am so excited about this! Thank you so very much, ladies!
