Celebration and Fun - Boots and Bling21

By Carl Gerhardt

Grab your boots & shine your spurs, the invitation starts out. It’s another celebration at Allegra Louisville-East. Denise Spalding, Jennifer Eberle and their staff are celebrating their 21st birthday of being in business for themselves. These ladies find more ways to celebrate and have fun than almost anyone that I know. I had the pleasure of attending their “Sweet 16” celebration five years ago, and it was a real hoot. It was a nice mix of customers, suppliers and a who’s who of the local business community. “Boots and Bling 21” is the next in their continuing anniversary celebrations.
