It’s almost here!

THANK YOU FROM BERNARD TERRELL CIGARS
The Bernard Terrell Cigars Presents 8th Annual Cigars in the Park Picnic  is officially in the books, and before we move on to what’s next, we have to say THANK YOU.

This year required flexibility, patience, teamwork and a whole lot of love. Through the date change and everything it took to get us back to the park, so many people showed up for Bernard Terrell Cigars and helped us create another experience for the Family of the Leaf.

To DJ El The Conductor ,  DJ Corey DJ Sylke, DJ Mello Melvin Mellosounds Worley  and DJ WyldChyld Tony Benion — thank you for bringing the energy all day.

A special thank you to Vincent Roofe  our Director of Live Music, and Mys. Michelle & Michael Kenady for bringing live music to the Cigars in the Park stage.

To our sponsors, photographers and partners:

To our VIP guests and Founder’s Circle members, thank you for continuing to invest in and support the BTC vision. We appreciate you more than you know.

And then there are the people behind the scenes.
Teneeka & Tameka — our BTC Cigars in the Park Team.
Terrell & Teneeka Scott — logistics.
Jasmine & Jordin — our STBJ crew.
Our sons — thank you for working alongside us and doing whatever was needed.

And Lenell & Andre — year after year, you don't wait for us to ask. You just show up and help. That kind of love and support doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you.

Thank you to our decor and furniture teams, security, EMS, volunteers, Hazel Crest Park District, and every person who helped us set up, break down, move something, solve a problem or simply asked, “What do you need?”

And finally, THANK YOU TO OUR GUESTS.
You came. You smoked. You danced. You shopped. You supported small businesses. You made new connections. You celebrated 10 years of Bernard Terrell Cigars with us.
Cigars in the Park started in 2018 with a simple belief that cigars bring people together. Eight events later, that hasn't changed.
Now we're taking everything we've learned and building toward the next chapter.
SAVE THE DATE!

Bernard Terrell Cigars
Mature. Classic. Smooth.
