One of the major highlights of FLARE – the Special Events Fair organized by Oaken Events was the exclusive dinner with world renowned Event Designer, Preston Bailey.
The dinner event took place on Thursday, 7th April 2011 at the Sky Lounge penthouse restaurant of Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos, Nigeria.
The special guest, Preston Bailey was accompanied by executive from his company, Rae Simpson – Project Manager, Preston Bailey Designs and Xoua Vang – CEO, Preston Bailey Designs. He graciously navigated the room as he posed for photographs, signed copies of his books and chatted with the guests who were all there to dine with him.
Bez, Paschal Obidile and Mike Aremu provided the entertainment while the Oaken team led by Ayiri Oladunmoye were the perfect hosts. A fabulous night for a truly talented and inspiring man.

The only thing I will point out that is your first sentence isn’t properly constructed. My point? You thought it was okay when you hit “post your comment”, she thought it was okay when she left home.
