2011 Crocs Christmas Party

This weekend we went to the annual Crocs Christmas party. It is held at the Omni Hotel in Superior (only about 10 minutes from our house) and it is so nice and fancy. There were a lot of differences from last years party to this years, both good and bad.

We got their early, becuase last year we didn't get a table and had to stand and eat, and got a table with some close friends in Ben's department. They had food on the outside of that ballroom in a buffet style. This year there wasn't as many food choices, which Ben was a little disappointed about, but it was still good. 

Last year there were photo booths spread throughout the party for people's pleasures but because of an insident with indecent photographs (all of the photos were put on the company page so people could get to them) they were not aloud this year. Instead they had people taking prom like photos, and printing them on the spot, and they also a characture artist (he was so busy we could not get ours done).

A huge difference from last year to this year was the alcohol location. You would not think this would make much of a difference but it did. Last year the bar was in the ballroom (with the food, dance floor and band) but this year it was in the hallway, leaving the ballroom almost completely empty (maybe one reason we got a table so easily).

Last year the band was..so so. This year we had the Six Million Dollar Band from Denver and they played 80s music. It was really good and after some cohersing I got Ben to dance with me.

One of the big differences was the mode of fundraising for charities. Last year a raffle was done, everyone paid $50 to get tickets and they were giving prizes for the raffle winners. This year no raffle was made so half way through the night they announced that if they could raise $4,000 the CFO would do the move from the movie  'Risky Business' and dance in his underwear. Well, the money was raised and it was pretty funny watching him.

The party was very fun and we are glad we went.
