A
Good Deal
Cocktail
tables that are at cabaret height add a festive atmosphere to your
party. A smaller table, 30” or 36” in diameter, generates
more conversation and compels people to converse more during a cocktail
reception. During the months of December and January, mention this
E-Update when you place your order for these in-stock cabaret-height
cocktail tables and receive a 20% discount off of the rental price.
The offer is not valid with other coupons or incentives. This offer
must be mentioned at the time of order placement and cannot be combined
with any other offer.

Event
Ideas
In Hawaii, luaus are a traditional way to celebrate life’s
momentous occasions (birthdays, graduations, weddings, etc.). Often
they are held in backyards under tents with elaborate decoration,
food and music and begin at sunset. Invitations can be written on
a large silk flower and sent to your guests with the pertinent luau
information. As your guests arrive, shower them with their own flower
lei that you can make from fresh flowers or can be bought at a local
craft store. Hold your event in a traditional pole tent with tiki
torches adding special lighting, beverage table that is skirted
using a raffia hula skirt and tables dressed in vibrant colors,
or an island green, or island white linen with complementary napkins.
Silk flowers and leaves can be strewn on the table as well. Center
and side poles should be decorated with leaves, ferns and tropical
flowers. Menu choices can include roast pig, salmon, sweet potatoes,
poi, rice entrees and a tropical fruit assortment. Beverages should
include mai tai’s, pina coladas or a rum fruit punch. Add
to the ambience by playing an array of music such as Polynesian
drums, Keali’I Reichel, Don Ho or even Elvis’ Blue Hawaii
CD’s. As the night progresses, hold a “hula dance”
contest … one for the women and one for the men too! Karl’s
Event Rental can provide tenting, tables, linens, glassware and
chafing units needed for your luau.

Located on the shores of Elkhart Lake, the Osthoff Resort offers
premier accommodations and amenities. Originally opened in 1886
as a hotel offering entertainment and fine dining, then in 1955
through the mid 1980’s it was used mainly as a drama and arts
camp. Developers then choose in 1989 to revert back to the original
ambience of the Osthoff Hotel and offer unique lodging and meeting
facilities. The resort offers 145 guest suites with full accommodations.
Over 8,000 square footage of meeting space from ballrooms to boardrooms
is available for your next meeting. With high speed internet access
and state-of-the-art conference facilities along with exquisite
catering your event can be customized with recreational activities
as well. And if your group has attendance of 1,000 or over, the
spacious beautiful lakefront grounds can accommodate your needs
with temperature-controlled tent facilities.
Events
are year-round at the Osthoff including upcoming events in December
such as Holiday Activities and Workshops, Old World Christmas Market,
Breakfast with Santa, St. Nicholas Brunch, Christmas Day Brunch,
and New Year’s Gala. 2004 offers holiday events for Valentine’s
Day and Mother’s Day as well as a Big Band Gala, Gardener’s
Premier Showcase and Jazz on the Vine. Visit their website at www.osthoff.com
for additional information, pricing and dates.
Just
60 miles northwest of Milwaukee, the Osthoff Resort is a great place
to hold your annual convention, quarterly board meeting or company
holiday party. Contact Lola Roeh at the Osthoff for assistance in
