Subject: CSE Conversation regarding Lionshead Top Shelf event
Dear CSE members:
There have been a positive turn of events in the past 48 hours regarding the event, Arrabelle
management and the Lionshead Merchants Association. Therefore, the previous information
submitted for my presentation to you tomorrow needed to be adjusted to reflect the changes that
have occurred. I apologize for the confusion these discussions and changes have generated.
The Arrabelle venue liquor license as it stands has been the basis for much discussion and changes
in planning due to the liquor laws.
The Lionshead Merchants Association have agreed to work with Eagle Valley Events, Inc. on
presenting the Top Shelf event for one day only in 2014

It is the desire of Arrabelle Management to work directly with the Lionshead Merchants
Association, a registered non-profit organization with the state of Colorado. The Lionshead
Merchants Association will retain 100% of the proceeds of the alcohol tasting ticket revenue.
Eagle Valley Events, Inc. will work with Arrabelle to finalize the plan moving forward,
specifically as it pertains to receipt of alcohol onto their premises, the sale of taste wristbands
for the event, and the represented restaurants for the food pairings.
The Lionshead Merchants Association and Eagle Valley Events, Inc. will sign an event
management agreement.
I am asking the members of the CSE to approve this new relationship as it pertains to the event and
the event funding. I will do my best to answer the questions immediately, although some of the
agreement details have not yet been determined with both Arrabelle management and the Lionshead
Merchants Association.
Thank you,
Laurie Asmussen
