Solaren Rounds Off the Year with Our Holiday Bash!

Tuesday, December 5th, we hosted our annual company Christmas party at the Barn in the Bend for all our leadership and staff to celebrate the year. The party involved catered food, a full bar, a DJ, games for kids and adults alike and of course Santa Claus!

Solaren Event Security 2023 Christmas Party

The night kicked off at 6:00 pm with a chance for everyone to sign in and socialize with each other.

This party is an opportunity every year for staff to chat with each other and their supervisors in a relaxed and fun environment. Leadership looks forward to every company event we hold, but this is our largest of the year and a great opportunity to develop personal relationships with staff. This was a family-friendly event so there were fun bounce houses for the kids to play in along with meeting Santa. Santa rode in on his “Holly Davidson” to bring gift boxes for everyone and make sure that the kids got to tell him what they want for Christmas.

The hit of the night aside from the bounce houses was the famous “cash vault” game.

The buffet included Italian classics such as lasagna and penne pasta with salad, and the bar included a variety of beer, wine, cocktails and sodas to ensure that everyone had something refreshing and filling for the evening. The hit of the night aside from the bounce houses was the famous “cash vault” game. This inflatable involved securing a raffle ticket winner inside while the fan blew cash around them. The goal is to grab as much money as possible before the fan turned off after 10 seconds. Who would not want to play this game??
