Disclosure :: Our Third Halloween Event was sponsored by Lakeside Shopping Center, Bryan Subaru, Bambino Sitters and St. Martin’s Episcopal School. The title sponsors answered all of our emails and calls quickly and with grace and met with us in person on numerous occasions. It’s always a pleasure to plan events alongside professional and gracious hosts.
Title Sponsors
It was a pleasure and a privilege to work with Lakeside Shopping Center, St. Martin’s Episcopal School, Bambino Sitters and Bryan Subaru. Our title sponsors were gracious and accommodating at every corner. Lakeside Shopping Center is truly a shopping destination, and our writers agree it is the best shopping mall in southeast Louisiana.
Our events would not be possible without the sponsorship of the aforementioned local businesses. An indoor trick or treat experience would not have happened without them. From our team and the 1600+ guests in attendance, “THANK YOU!”
