May 9, 2009 (Rancho San Diego)—Two new businesses, Savanna Grill and Realty Executives, teamed up to co-host a grand opening Cinco De Mayo celebration that proved both festive and successful.
“We had over 500 people attend,” said Valerie Harrison, president of the Rancho San Diego-Jamul Chamber of Commerce, organizer of the event.
Guests feasted on tri-tip and sipped dollar margaritas as a strolling mariachi band serenaded. Costumed dancers from Ballet Folklorico also entertained guests.
Supervisor Dianne Jacob welcomed the new businesses to the community during a ribbon-cutting ceremony. “It takes courage in these tough times to have the confidence to open a new business,” she said, then praised the Rancho San Diego location. She also expressed appreciation at having a “fine dining restaurant finally” in East County. Joe Kasper, representing Congressman Duncan D. Hunter, was also present.
Firefighters from the San Miguel Fire Department brought a fire engine to fire up the crowd and delight youngsters. Business proprietors and their families—including young Savanna, namesake of the new restaurant and daughter of the owners--were also on hand to greet visitors.
Inside Savanna, guests mingled at an upscale bar and enjoyed music from a live band on an outdoor patio overlooking the fifth hole at Cottonwood Golf Course. Many lingering long after the official grand opening closed to savor wining and dining well into the evening hours.
Savanna Grill is located at 3773 Willowglen Road, next door to Realty Executives in the Rancho San Diego area of El Cajon.
