Twenty-five and counting

On Friday, October 16, Flair celebrated it's 25th birthday with cake, champagne and many great friends. It was a time to look back at some of our achievements, make new friendships and cement old ties. The party venue was the beautiful Roof Garden atop The Gleaner's North Street complex.

We thank our friends from J Wray & Nephew who provided the Appleton Genesis Cocktail Bar, complete with waiters for the duration of the event. Guests nibbled on Island Grill jerk chicken and cocktail festival and partook of the delicious Patta Kake birthday cake.

Share the memories with us.
