Thank you to everyone who came out to Zinicola on Thursday, Nov. 5, for the Stroll Holiday Party. I made three short videos from the night, and all three are here.

147 guests signed up to spend the evening with us in Ballantyne Village. The dining room was full, residents and our business partners shared the tables and the bar, and Aviara & Co brought racks of its clothing.
