Bellalago Events BY AMY MALLINDER, LIFESTYLE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL FLORIDA

I

would like to thank everyone who participated in our Back to School Facebook Contest! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the pictures of your kiddos returning to school. I have plenty more Facebook contests coming up; if you haven’t already, please “Like” our official page at Facebook.com/BellalagoandIsles. Can you believe summer is almost over? I am in full planning mode for our fall activities, which include bringing back our popular Wine Pairing Educational gathering with Time For Wine. We will be exploring wine and food pairings from Germany in October, as well as Hellalago! The theme for Hellalago this year is Harry Potter. Join us on November 2nd as you walk through the “Tent of Terror” passing through Hogwarts, Diagon Alley and much more. Hellalago, as usual, will end with a BANG as we light up the sky with our annual firework display. Next month we are bringing back our Mother and Son Date night. Join us on September 14th with your boys for a spaghetti dinner accompanied by an awesome magic show! We are introducing “Momma’s Night Out” on September 7th, so let loose, leave the kids at home, come in your favorite PJ’s, and let’s have some fun. 8

BELLALAGO BEACON | SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2019

I have a few surprises up my sleeves for each of these events; you won’t want to miss them! Tickets for our events are available solely online now using the links provided via the weekly email blast that I send out on Mondays. In July, we had our first “Inflatable Game Night,” which was a success and something I hope to build on next year. We sent the kids back to school with our annual “Back to School Color Bash” in August. The weather was HOT, but we cooled down with two awesome water slides, enjoyed wonderful ice cream and gourmet snow cones. The kids also got to decorate their own colorful backpacks just in time for the new school year. I look forward to seeing all of you in the upcoming months.
