The SSHBA started the year off on a great foot with their New Year’s Party.

Over 60 people were in attendance and multiple vendors put together tables to showcase their products and services. We also had an extremely talented musician keeping us entertained with his acoustic performance!

If this is foreboding for the year to follow, then 2023 is going to be AMAZING!

Thank you to our vendor table sponsors Westlake Royal Building Products , Velux USA and Edmund Allen Lumber / Beacon Supply

If you need a superb musician to play for an event or party, we would highly recommend Dave from David’s Bazaar.

On Wednesday, June 15th, the SSHBA hosted it’s Annual Golf Outing at Silver Lake Country Club in Orland Park. Approximately 250 people attended between golfers, sponsors and volunteers. It was a HOT day but despite the heat , everyone stayed hydrated and played the entire course and had a great time! Check out the photos of the day on the SSHBA Photo Gallery !

The Kentucky Derby Raffle is one of the largest events the SSHBA hosts.  For the 200 people attending in past years, the event is always very exciting, businesses flourish with many new found relationships and its most definitely full of good, old fashion “fun”.

This year’s event promises to be better than ever.  The Kentucky Derby Raffle will be held on Friday, April 29th, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Harrah’s Casino in Joliet, IL.  The Grand Prize this year is $2,500 (based on a minimum of 250 tickets sold).  

An $85 ticket entitles the holder to a chance at the $2,500 prize, buffet, and open bar for 3 hours.  This event has proven itself, year after year, to be a serious, networking opportunity to expand your business.

Returning this year, you again can race a wooden horse! Paint/decorate it yourself or sponsor a pre-decorated horse to be “raced” that night! Call our office ASAP for details and to get your  name on the list as we need to get the horses to sponsors very soon! Spectators will “bet” on horses to win by purchasing raffle tickets to which can be used to win any of our amazing raffle prizes. New this year, buy raffle tickets in advance. For $20 you can have a “horse leg” length of tickets waiting for you at registration! 

We are in need of a few more sponsors for our event as well. Please check out the flyer below and let us know if you are willing to help!

Last but not least, there will again be a contest for ladies’ best hat and men’s best dressed. The winner in each category will win $50 so start putting together your best Derby outfit!!
