I cannot Thank enough the countless volunteers that dedicated their time and financial resources to make this Event so successful. Putting any Event together is a daunting task, but it’s the volunteers who make it happen. THANKS TO All OF YOU!!!
I would also like to thank the following outstanding vendors who partnered with us and generously donated gifts for the silent auction to help us elevate this community Event to a whole new level! There are so many great places, I will have to Blog several times!
Thank you Christopher & Shannon. Owners of Mongo’s Restaurant located 5 minutes from HHABC in Clearview. What a feast! BBQ Ribs-with incredible sauce-, Veggie Skewers with mouthwatering sauces, Burgers and of course, my favorite, the Filet Mignon Sliders !!!! Yummy!! What a treat to have them cater our event and help us raise money for our charities.
Year after year restaurants try to capture the powerfully tempting convergence of casual, delectable, and economical dining. Yet it has eluded all who have tried; until now – Mongos is the exceptional dining experience that has perfected satisfaction of the palette, the pocketbook, and the patrons.
Stop by their restaurant and say hi to Christopher and Shannon and tell them you enjoyed the food at HHABC. They cater small and large events. Way to go & thanks for putting a bright spot in Clearview for the rest of us!

These saddles are the ones we use in the HHABC school. They are comfortable for horses and humans alike. Come try one out, and you’ll be singin’ “Back in the Saddle Again.”
Thank you Preservation Kitchen owned by Susan & Gary Southwick near downtown Bothell on old Bothell Way.
Beautiful Preservation Kitchen Restaurant
Preservation Kitchen preserves the traditions of regional eating and drinking, our local history, and old-fashioned hospitality. “We believe that sharing a good meal with friends and family is one of the best ways to spend your time, and that expensive prices, white table cloths and pretentious wine lists are not necessary to achieve a great dining experience. Our menu, which contains seasonal, locally produced, and sustainable ingredients whenever possible, is flexible and affordable enough for a four-course special occasion dinner, or a glass of wine and some house-cured olives on a Tuesday night”.
What a great place for groups or intimate dining in their private cozy rooms upstairs.
Thanks to Kevin Downey, owner of Grazie Ristorante in Canyon Park.
You’ll find everyone at Grazie Ristorante – both the Southcenter and Canyon Park locations – to be friendly and welcoming, with the most knowledgeable staff anywhere. You’ll experience Italian food made with authentic recipes and ingredients just like you were dining in Italy. Only at Grazie Ristorante will you receive five-star service at family prices.
Grazie Ristorante was born in November of 1987. Owner Kevin Downey, with years of experience working in the restaurant industry, took his love of the business and created a unique Italian dining experience, more authentic than any in the Puget Sound area.
This is also a fave eat-out. I love Italian food, and the service rocks! They are so warm and friendly. Even when a “herd” of us show up smelling like “eau de barn cologne” from Ralph (you-know-who)!
