The St Louis Videographers Association celebrated their annual Christmas Party at the home of Claudia Walters of Copy Cat Video. Claudia's home sits just above the Mississippi River, high upon the bluffs, in Alton, Illinois. The recent snowfall provided a beautiful setting for the event and the deer frolicking in Claudia's wooded back yard created a special holiday feeling. Claudia and her husband, Bob, extended their warm hospitality as guests arrived. Members enjoyed a warm fire by the relaxing, wood burning, fireplace as they sampled Gert Booher's home made Wassail. For those who are not familiar with wassail, it is a hot, special spiced punch often associated with the holiday season. The drink resembles that of a mulled cider and was often served at medieval feasts. Quite tasty!
Everyone enjoyed the delicious buffet which included several home made desserts. By the end of the evening, the guests were quite full and well wassailed.
STLVA members are hard working professionals who truly love the industry of video and photography. It is always refreshing to attend a celebration where industry friends can join together for a relaxed evening of cheer.
Several members brought some of their "must see" works which were shown at the party. There were also prizes given out as a drawing. Useful products from Anton Bauer, educational DVD's, chances to win the new Anton Bauer lighting system, and the possibility to attend a one-on-one seminar with a nationally known industry leader.
Matt Schmitt, Art of Film Productions, attended the party with his girlfriend, Chamaine. Matt completed his application for STLVA membership at the party. The group looks forward to welcoming him as the newest STLVA member at their January meeting.
Great Time!
