THE PATRONS PAVILION
By: Barbara Brown
Director, Special Events
This year's many innovations and improvements to the Patrons Pavilion will certainly offer another pleasant experience for our Sponsors, Friends of the Concours, and many guests.
Concours day will begin with a continental breakfast from 7 am for those who need to be on the field early. At 10 am we serve a bubbly beverage during our "Mimosa Hour". Then, at 11:30, look for a touch of elegance as the Sheraton Palo Alto Hotel prepares to serve a beautiful Italian buffet. The superb buffet will offer something for everyone, ranging from Minestrone Soup, a variety of salads, Chicken Parmesan with bay shrimp and scallops, to a choice of Tiramasu or Zabaglione for desert.
The Pavilion is the perfect place to relax and spend the day, or escape the sun and visit with friends while sipping coffee or a cool drink, then to view the passing parade of Concours winners as they drive over the ramp to collect the many awards.
Tickets, at $75.00 per person, offers reserved parking and transportation to and from the Pavilion, special identification which provides access to the Concours, a continental breakfast, a Mimosa Hour, a buffet lunch, a place to relax with drinks served throughout the day, as well as the best view of the day's events.
One of the innovations we added this year was the ability to purchase a block of tickets to the Patrons Pavilion. Purchasing a block of tickets is a unique way to entertain family, friends, or business associates. We will assist you with special arrangements for groups with tables reserved for the entire day.
Patrons Pavilion information will be sent to all sponsors and entrants. If you would like more information or if you have any questions, please call Barbara Brown, Concours Director of Special Events, at (650) 948-5334, or FAX your questions to (650) 948-2270.
