On May 6, Weston Family Foods hosted is annual group meeting at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. Decor included a wagon made out of bread. It took 5th Element Events two days to build the structure, and the process involved shellacking real bread from Weston Foods and hot-gluing pieces to the wagon.
Though technically drinkable and not edible, Patron's 2011 bash in Orlando had interactive decor that guests could get a taste of. Just inside the front door, staff offered samples of five cocktails made with PatrĂłn XO Cafe. They poured the drinks from fixtures placed on the wall in a gallery-like configuration.
