A Note From Regis: Pirates, Parrots and More

July 19th, 2007

We just had our first Pirate Party Weekend and what a great time it was. We had great weather (Except for Friday night) and a great turn out for the Pirate Treasure Hunt on Saturday afternoon. Over 50 people were searching the Cove for our stash of pirate booty. The winner won a dinner for 2 at Lakeside Restaurant, 2 nights stay in the villa, $50 in Cove Coins and 2 bottles of Captain Morgan’s Rum (What pirate treasure hunt would be complete without a little bit o’ rum?). And don’t forget the pirate dance party and costume contest. We had pirates running rampant all over the Lakeside Restaurant. Congratulations goes out to Theresa Labonte for winning our first pirate costume contest, and a big thank you to the Cree’s for all their passion and help in getting this weekend off the ground. We look forward to doing it all again next year.

As I write this we are gearing up for Parrothead Weekend, and boy is it going to be a great one. We have had one change to the schedule, the Sunday night BBQ with live music by Mike Meredith has been changed to Captain Josh & Jimmy Pappas, 2 of the guys that will be playing at the Saturday night dance. Unfortunately, Mike had a prior engagement that couldn’t be moved, but I think that Capt. Josh and Jimmy will do a great job.

Another thing I would like to touch on is Monday Music. This last month we had a good turn out but not as many people as we thought it was going to be. I had soooo many emails in my mailbox expressing that they didn’t want Monday music to go away that we figured bringing it back would be a huge slam dunk. So if you want to see Monday Music continue throughout the summer of next year make sure to attend this month with Jim from The Dukes and next month with Glenn Mack. We can only keep it going if people show up, have dinner and have a great Monday night out. I hope to see you all there.
