Wednesday, December 8, 2011
Last week was the OXA's annual Christmas Celebration and Member Tradeshow and once again a great time was had by all who attended!

After spending some time networking, Mardi Friesz and Mike Kolberg kicked off the evening by introducing the 12 trade show booths via song (the 12 days of Christmas).
Tradeshow Participants:

After the booth introductions, attendees were treated to a fashion show with clothing provided by Kunstadt Sports. Many thanks to our OXA members who volunteered to model and who looked fabulous on the catwalk as well as Mardi and Mike for introducing the models.
At the end of the fashion show members and guests were presented with a wonderful sit down down meal of Roast Sirloin of Beef au jus with all the fixings. While everyone enjoyed their dinner the fun continued with door prize draws and the sale of raffle tickets. Music throughout the evening was provided by DJ, Cosimo.
We offer a special 'Thank You' to our sponsors and all members who donated the fantastic prizes for the draws and raffles.
