Send In The Clowns Entertains at Islanders Draft Party

This local New Hyde Park business provided many elements for the party.

Send In The Clowns provided many of the entertaining elements at the New York Islanders' draft party on Friday evening including inflatable hockey and skeeball stations.

The New Hyde Park-based group has been part of the draft party for about the past four years. Dave Decina, vice president of corporate partnerships, said the Islanders first became familiar with Send In The Clowns after seeing the work the business was doing with the Mets. The company is now the official party provider for the New York Mets and the New York Islanders.

"It's simple -- they're the best party planners," Decina said of why the Islanders choose to work with this business.
