On February 13, 2010, Soul Amici Express celebrated it's official Grand Opening,
Mardi Gras style, though our actual opening day was December 4th, 2009 commencing on the day of the Riverside Christmas Walk when Santa rolled into town.
For the Grand Opening, there was a lavish buffet of our special homemade items. There were over 100 in attendance, some wore masks and others enjoyed having their faces painted or obtaining keepsake caricatures. We were also entertained by a stiltwalker. Music for the evening was provided from the band "Elite" which played wonderful jazz renditions and other musical favorites. Some danced, others sang, overall it was a joyful night for all.
Riverside Fine Arts Festival held May 22nd and 23rd featured our 9 foot train BBQ Grill. It was an excellent event with great weather, wonderful artists and community support.
