H2 Uptown

Our Christmas Dinner was absolutely awesome! I have received many emails, phone calls, and walk-in traffic of those who attended to tell us how much they enjoyed themselves. H2Uptown, Angel Fire’s newest fine dining establishment, hosted our dinner. The food was delicious, we received great service from the wait-staff, and the Resort set-up our cash bar. Thanks and good luck to Dominic Serna on this new venue. Ry Taylor’s music was excellent, as usual and the silent auction was a great success!

We also want to thank everyone who purchased a silent auction item! And a special thank you goes out to the Angel Fire Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and the Chamber Ambassadors who collected silent auction items. And I can’t say thank you enough to Johnese Turri for all of the work she put in behind the scene and to D.J. Geoffroy, Donna Holman, Susanne Coyle, Michael Turri, Mike Liddle, and Lisa Morales for helping with table decorations, tickets, and the silent auction. Without the help of each and everyone of these people, the dinner would not have been so fabulous!
