"Green Your Theme Seattle" was a fabulous event held at the eco-friendly Sodo Park in Seattle.
We sampled delicious food created by local chefs, caterers and farms and tasted local wines, sustainable beer, teas and coffee. A panel discussion included the following individuals: Jill Hashimoto (Mariners Director of Event Sales and Marketing) discussed greening sporting events, Gabriel Scheer (Seattle Green Drinks) discussed greening networking events and meetings, Heather Smith Teegarden (Woodland Park Zoo) discussed greening fundraiser and association events, Nancy Skipton (Simply Celebrations and Events) discussed greening weddings and receptions, Rachel Hall (Hollywood Lighting) discussed greening large-scale events and Ms. Mike Thomas (Margo Wendorf and Associates) discussed greening corporate meetings and events.
After the panel discussion, guests were treated to an entertaining fashion show featuring designs by Rita Gruzman (Marge Design). Rita is a green fashion designer who creates upcycled reconstructed designer outfits.

We finished off the evening dancing to music by Bamboo beats.
