2020 Changed Us!
2020 changed many people’s lives. After fifteen years working in the events, hospitality, and meetings industry, when the pandemic hit, my job, along with thousands of others was decimated. Although devastating, it was also an opportunity to try something different. A chance to walk a new path.
Our Story
Popcorn is a Lot Like LIFE!
Freshly popped, it is a blank slate, with a million opportunities. Savory, sweet or something in between, it can take on any flavor, and transform into something totally different. A kernel of popcorn is perfect simplicity. When color, spice and toppings are added, it only enhances the beauty of that piece of corn, that reached its ultimate potential. I never imagined that popcorn would become my life’s perfect metaphor, but it did just that.

As things begin to open up and celebrations begin again, I hope to plan more “popcorn popups” and themed events. READ MORE
