Just wanted to give you a super big THANKS for all your help this weekend. Thank you and your staff for always being on-time, being helpful and for always bringing what we needed. Also, a big thanks to you for allowing us to transport the barricades from one location to the next over the weekend. That was extremely helpful.

By the way, there were so many raves from the hundreds of people (400!) attending this event…they loved the ambiance of the tents and the lighting. I loved the idea of keeping everyone dry. We could not have pulled it off without the help of you, Rene, Jaime, and all of your crew!
Take care,
