20 years.
By the end of 2004, t
he collection at Golden Wings had increased. In
turn, space for the events decreased and the company had to withdraw from the event hosting industry
on a regular basis. Realizing the high demand for event space, Craig
sought the opportunity to strike out on his own with a business venture
with plans to own and operate a new facility housing three entities: an event center, gift shop, and restaurant.
