The group held two well-attended receptions and a dinner that was followed by a spirited game of Deal or No Deal. Participants were drawn and allowed to select a case that held cash prizes. Before opening the case, they could accept cash offers to sell or keep it.

There were also golf, beach cornhole and horseshoe contests and a host of door prizes from sponsors.
