ExploreELEMENT held their 25th anniversary event at their complex on the Westbank, hosting a truly epic holiday party. The decor was spectacular, featuring an array of props and exquisite furniture. The aesthetic was a blend of holiday decor, with specialty areas such as a western saloon that included a bull riding station and various games. The culinary experience was exceptional, with food provided by renowned local restaurants and an abundance of cocktails throughout the evening. BE Collective supplied the music, delivering one of the most impressive performances I have witnessed in a considerable time, backed by talented musicians and a skilled DJ. Owner Richard Young delivered a heartfelt speech commemorating his 25 years in business, subsequently handing over the microphone and reins to his new partners, his daughter Octavia and my dear friend Valerie Landry. Congratulations are in order for the entire team on a job well done in orchestrating a beautiful and memorable event. 12/3/25
