Hey friends — it’s Grady here.
For 25 years, I’ve thrown this Hilltop Party as my way of saying thank you to all my friends who’ve filled my life with laughter and great memories.
I’ve spent plenty along the way — and wouldn’t trade a dime of it for what those nights have given back.
But after quite a few quiet years (financially), I realized the music shouldn’t stop — it just needs a little help to play on.
So some of my friends — The Massey's Brian and Julie, J Mike and Tina from Pasadena said:
“Let’s keep it going, and let’s all chip in to help out.”
That’s exactly what we’re doing!
This year, I’m asking everyone who’s shared these nights with me to bring a small piece of the celebration and help keep the tradition alive.

The amazing Tina from Pasadena has already stepped up in a huge way — she’s bringing some great tasting hand foods for you to enjoy during the party.
Tina’s feeding 52 guests, so come hungry and ready for one of the best comfort-food feasts you’ll ever have.
My buddy J Mike is giving up a lucrative night to man the bar and mix up his Southern California-famous Margaritas and unbelievable Old Fashioneds, along with a few crisp vodka drinks and his special Moscow Mule.
And if we’re lucky, he might even shake up (not stir) a round of his James Bond Martinis.
Yeah, he likes baseball and can spin some yarns about Angels and his favorite Dodgers


Brian and Julie Massey — our favorite realtor couple from Fullerton Hilltop — are once again helping make this year’s party happen. It’s worth remembering that three years ago, when the tradition was about to fade, they stepped in and took care of the entire event so the celebration could go on. Their kindness and community spirit have kept the Hilltop party alive, and we’re all grateful for them!
• Even more fantastic food — thanks to Tina from Pasadena
• Great music and dancing with Scotty McKJ
• The keep it going power couple Brian and Julie
• Real, classy drinks from J Mike
• Maybe some karaoke later in the night
• The same camaraderie and laughter we’ve shared for 25 years — and more!
