Wellington Chamber announces “Vanilla Ice” as Headline Performer and Emcee of Winter Fest 2010!!!!

The Wellington Chamber and the Village of Wellington are thrilled to announce Pop icon Vanilla Ice as Celebrity Emcee and Headline Performer for WinterFest 2010!!   Vanilla Ice sold 11 million copies of his debut album, To the Extreme, which featured the hit “Ice, Ice Baby.” Although he’s best known for his ’90s music, Rob Van Winkle is also a successful real-estate entrepreneur and a remodeling expert with more than 15 years of hands-on home improvement experience. He began in his late teens with a series of smart property purchases, including his first remodeling project, his very own 15,000-square-foot mansion on Star Island in Miami Beach, and continued over the years. For two decades, he’s been flipping houses — basically buying at low cost, fixing up the property and selling for a worthwhile profit. On DIY Network’s new series The Vanilla Ice Project, Rob and his crew of talented contractors get down to business and renovate every room of a 7,000-square-foot Palm Beach mansion. This latest project, which he says will be his proudest moment yet, will showcase the latest in modern home features and the hottest in state-of-the-art technology.

November, 2010 – SalsaFest 2010

Spicy Weekend Heading Your Way at SalsaFest!

 

More than 20,000 people are expected to attend Palm Beach County’s spiciest event, SalsaFest, on November 19th through the 21st at Greenacres Community Park, located on Jog Road just north of 10th Avenue. 

 

salsafest3In its fourth year, SalsaFest will heat things up with three world-renowned salsa musical acts lined up to be on stage Saturday night including international sensation Puerto Rican Power (8:30pm), Ray Castro y el Conjunto Clasico (6:30pm), and Hansel Y Raul (4:30pm).  A full schedule of music is planned for the two days.  “We invite everyone to visit our official SalsaFest website (www.SalsaFest.net) for a full listing of all of the entertainers,” said Jaene Miranda, CEO of the Palms West Chamber.   “The website also provides a complete schedule of many other fun activities happening at the event.”

 

The festival is expanding this year from a one day to a two and a half days.  Friday November 19th (5pm to 10pm) is preview night – as the festival vendors prepare for the grand opening on Saturday morning, visitors will be able to enter the festival at no cost and enjoy the carnival rides and food.  In addition to the main entertainers featured on Saturday night, the weekend (Saturday 11am to 10pm & Sunday 11am to 6pm) offers something for everyone searching to add a little spice to their life.  Appearances by costume characters throughout the day, Chihuahua races and costume contests, carnival rides, bounce houses, domino competition, arts & crafts, stilt walkers, dance competition, activities for the kids, community performances, safety fair and a business expo will round out the flavor of this annual Latin festival.

 

Back for the third straight year is the Sizzling Salsa Cooking lineup that includes La Cucina de Ninos – the Kids Kitchen – competitions by young chefs from the Palm Beach County School District and Salsa Cooking Demonstrations.  The fiery competition peaks as the event features mayors and officials from Greenacres, Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, Loxahatchee Groves and the Indian Trail Improvement District in a Sizzling Salsa Caliente Showdown. 

 

This year’s event was made possible by the generous support of our presenting sponsors, Royal Palm Toyota, Optimal Wellness Institute, El Bodegon Grocery and Independent Imaging plus many other supporters of the chamber and its Hispanic initiative. 

 

“Not only do we have Grammy winning acts, this Hispanic targeted festival provides an opportunity for business owner who are searching for creative ways to reach into the community we all serve,” said Dr. Harvey Montijo, founder of Optimal Wellness Institute. 

 

Expanding on the thought, Ira Greenbaum, General Manager for Royal Palm Toyota adds “SalsaFest puts us face-to-face with our customers and allows us to give back to the community.”

 

Admission to SalsaFest is free on Friday night and $10 on both Saturday and Sunday.  Children 7 and under are free throughout the duration of the event.  Families can purchase a 4-pack for $30.  Advance tickets are available for purchase for $8.00 (a savings of $2 per individual ticket) online at www.SalsaFest.net and at Havana Restaurant and El Bodegon.  For more information, call 561-790-6200.

November, 2010 – Kids Teeth Doctor Event

kidsteethdoctor-candyeventCongratulations to everyone who helped to make the “Kids Teeth Doctor” Cash for Candy Evening a Great Success!

Halloween is such a festive holiday, bringing friends and neighbors together for some laughs and good treats. And although Trick or Treating is such a great American tradition, there is always that concern of eating too much candy!!

 

Every year, immediately after Halloween, there is a significant rise in the number of children going to the dentist due to toothaches. Most parents tend to struggle with the issue of what to do with all that candy and how to explain to the child that he or she should not eat all of it.

 

For the past three years, Dr. Haik’s office has brainstormed with different ideas on how to encourage the children of the community to give their candy away. This year seems to have been most successful.

 

Dr. Haik offered children of the community to bring their candy to their office and trade it in for CA$H. 1 pound=$1 and a toothbrush with each trade, and Dr. Haik also committed to match all dollar amounts to the school to which each child attends.

 

On Tuesday, November 2nd, children from around the community came to Dr. Haik’s office with bags of candy and big smiles. 21 schools were represented throughout the evening, and the room was filled with excitement, smiles and laughter. Both Elmo and Toothy dropped by to say hello, and Dr. Haik simply kept clowning around.

 

A Total of 417.5 pounds of candy were collected in three hours. The two top schools with the most collected candy by weight were:

 

1. Equestrian Trails Elementary (179.75 lbs)

2. Panther Run (79 lbs.)

 

All the candy will be arranged to be shipped to our service man and women overseas, with the hopes that they do not forget to brush and floss.

 

Please visit their website at www.young-smiles.com for a thorough breakdown of all the pounds of candy collected from each school.
