When Cannabis Now Magazine publisher Eugenio Garcia asked Elise to produce their holiday party in 2018, Elise transformed the concept of a staff holiday party into a full blown cannabis industry Emerald Cup pre party, with Willie’s Reserve as co-hosts, as Willie Nelson actually played across the street at the Fox Theatre. The event hit max capacity and guests enjoyed a vinyl spinning DJ, Willie’s Reserve flower bar, Gold Drop dab bar, plus taco bar with infused sauces by Sous Weed and dessert from Cannaisseur Series Chef Coreen Carroll.
