I'm going to be spending NEW YEARS EVE locally at the Stellar Hall this year I think, at the new renovated hall, as not only is my relationship professional, having been around the family prior to the first D.H.C. location opening when a then strapping young owner Johnny Cutroni came and asked my opinion on the idea of opening a spot wherein I think I said, "Go for it", but he's also a friend and you should be around some on New Year's.

| TPE's Grinch dropped presents for Deli House Bread & Jam Xmas Party |
Delihouse Catering w
as just a small strip mall
, breakfast only, location at Yonge & Mulock in
Newmarket to start. I had been a single dad working at
Glenway Country Club (yes, the same one that is being razed as we speak!) as a bartender & filling in as fine-dining night waiter too as they didn't have anyone who knew
french service - other than one other guy &
Johnny - a single waiter then who'd learned his craft mostly working for a caterer at
Aurora's Atrium from a very young age before his
Glenway job.
So it was only a natural that he evolved from breakfasts
, to catering, to having a full fledged
Stellar Hall now sported at
1220 Stellar Lane Dr.
upstairs above the bowling alley. Of course, he now has kids as well as
a wife, and whilst mine are older we're all friends and that's what
New Years Eve is about - spending time with friends & good people, and so who better to play host and for me to attend at on N.Y.'s,
especially when part of your job is to assist with the nights success!

Speaking of
good people, I met the
Highway 11 Cruisers Car Club President
Danny Fachini in regards to New Years last year through
Johnny, and really began to like what I heard about the exciting directions their
Newmarket car club (based) group, the Co-host, along with
Stellar Hall for
the New Years gala, was taking
. For example, their
club community crawl cruises
can include a hundred vehicles or so - both bikes and cars
alike- that travel a set route and make various stops whilst
entertaining and often
showing for the locals they visit - always attracting visitors or stoppers-by. I was surprised to hear that the
International Centre Car Show in Mississauga they put on attracts 3-400 hundred cars and thousands of people. Locally, they host the
Upper Canada Mall car show, which featured 800 cars and 1500 visitors or so. Although Danny did tell me about how they did have
one car complaint in the past, not sure if it was a
funny car or speedster, but it gave a
sonic boom that had
mallonians scrambling for cover thinking a bomb hit!
CTV covered it as well apparently, but it was only an engine starting! Ha! Where's Mel
Lastman when you need him!?

Danny explained they also do
peel out contests - unique to their events as other groups fear the insurance
- but people love them he says! Just like I remember from when we were kids! Ha!
These
bigger exciting events that
they host attract a more of a diverse age
cross section of members (and a significant younger membership), and
set The Highway 11 Cruisers C.C. apart from smaller enthusiast clubs such as the
Newmarket Car Club . Both do have their own place however with the larger
Cruisers C.C. being much more into creating and holding events.
I believe him that these guys put in 100%
into every event. And he's got vision for what he/they wants to do, passion for his club, and gets excited about the events which is apparent when you meet Danny,
personable yet professional and direct. No nonsense and I like that...so we're going to rock
New Years again and then
we look forward to assisting
launch and cover/blog/video, /webify some cool
car shows!
I also envision a
future event in the town of
Newmarket that will attract
thousands from outside Newmarket's usual visiting market and see how the town handles it! With its members attracted from all across the
GTA, and some cool members too like
Q107's Rick Derringer or the world renowned
Silver Elvis to name a few, these guys can really entertain as well!
Meantime
New Years EVE 2013-14 will feature no
peel-outs, but an array of
goodies on top of what I mentioned including
50/50 Draw, Silent Auction,
Texas Mickey Raffle...and of course Midnight Champagne! All for a great cause -
SICKKIDS.
So between us all you can expect a group of experienced party givers ready to give you a great time out for New Years Eve!
Reserve for New Years now...Request Tickets or call 905-889-1608 and tell them TP sent you to receive free directions! Ha.
TP Out!
