July 2010 LIVING IN AMERICA - Entrepreneur's Exhibit and Fair & Roseville Community Tennis Association(RCTA)

This was by no means the regular and ordinary trade fair that I was used to attend in Philippines, in Japan or even here in America.

As I entered the hall I felt a warmth in the atmosphere it was relaxing and then I realized it was the floral arrangements that sorounded the vicinity that gave me that feeling. Wilna, owner of Angels and Creations had decorated the whole place with her beautiful floral arrangements both fresh cut and silk. The funny thing is I couldn’t differentiate one from the other! There were different arrangements for all types of occassions..

The event’s program started with Meet and Greet and appetizers were served from 3pm-6pm, Raffle drawing, presentation of exhibitors...There was at least a dozen of exhibitors there and several Filipino-American Professionals also came from all over the area and of course friends and family Angel’s and Creations is owned and managed by Wilna Sobrepena.

Angels and Creations just started its business late of last year after encouraged by close friends. Wilna is very passionate about putting together events and always there for her friends. To Wilna of Angels and Creations, congratulations on a very successful event, and to many more to come! Oscar Misola of Wedding Story was the Official Photographer of the event.
