Well, we thought that last year’s “Celebrate Transit” staff and family party was exceptional; this year’s was even better!

Held at the Blatchford Field Air Hangar at Fort Edmonton Park, this large venue was mad event more expansive with the addition of a large tent to the hangar entrance which made room for the stage, band, and photobooth areas. On each side of large hangar doors stood two massive video screens which showed a slideshow of the highlights of the past year including photos from the ETS skills competition. In order to accommodate the sheer volume of guests expected, there were two sittings for the splendid dinner which was catered by Elizabethan Catering Service.

Upon entering, each guest was provided with a “superstar” necklace which could be set to blink or change colour, There was also a program where departed employees were remembered and awards were conferred in categories such as, best CTO rookies, best CSO operators, best fleet services, best DATS operator, among many others. However, the most anticipated award of the night was the most outstanding employee award, of which 34 individuals were decorated.

The entertainment for the evening included a traditional Scottish pipe band in traditional garb, and another 4 member band which played contemporary songs such as Bryan Adam’s, “The Summer of 69” and Adele’s, “Rolling in the Deep” which kept people dancing into the evening.

As for the Flashworks Photobooth, once people learned that the photos were free and unlimited, there was always a consistent line up of guests wanting to pose with their families and co-workers. People enjoyed donning our humorous props and hopping in front of the green screen, and those in line could watch the action live on our external screen while they waited their turn.

Flashworks Photobooth would like to commend the organizers of this event for a job well done! Thanks for inviting us once again and for the opportunity to entertain your guests!
