Surprise 70th Birthday Rocks AREA 51. Mariachi's, Doowop trio and wife Frances pull out all the stops for Paul Flores.

When Frances Flores came to us with the idea of throwing her husband, Paul, a surprise 70th birthday party, we couldn't have imagined that it would be more like "America's got talent." After AJ Nocita drove the guest of honor into his party, the evening started out with some welcoming remarks from the evening's emcee, Al Gonzales. Then came the first act, a Mariachi Band that played during the dinner hour and really brought a little bit of Mexico north of the border.  As dinner concluded it was time for some roasts, toasts and just some good old birthday boy bashing. Afterwards, Paul was brought up front and his wife, Frances, sang her rendition of "My Guy" to him. It was a tender moment and she did a great job with the song. But the entertainment wasn't over yet.  Time for a little Doowop that kept the party rolling til midnight!  What a great evening and celebration to honor Paul and his 70 years. Hope you had as much fun as we did, Paul! 


No one had a problem finding the party...





Everyone was ready for the guest of honor to
make his entrance.

Suprise!!  Paul thought he was going to a fundraiser.


It finally sunk in.  "Hey, this party is for me!"

A photo op or two...
