Spare Change Challenge

We have a winner for the Spare Change Challenge. This time it is Diane Slovit with team "Flamazing Flamingos". They collected a total of $361.0.00 which we rounded up to $400.00, great job! Thanks to Steve and Diane for their fundraising efforts that will go to the Shopping for Foster Kids. Also thanks to everyone who donated all year long.



We now start again with two new Captains. Maddie Koebke with Maddog Parrots has stepped up and Deb Way with Way's Pennies in Paradise. While Deb is in Florida for the winter, Donna Howard will do the collecting. Thank you ladies!



Pirates in the Park

For several years now we have joined with Tires and Treads for a fun afternoon at Goodells Park to celebrate kids. We dressed as pirates, set up a booth for kids and have a good time. The pirate ship was there to greet everyone at the door. There were animals to pet, booths to play games or get your hair braided and free ice cream. The day started out very rainy but cleared up later on.




Our faithful leader, Fran Morris was over seeing everything. A few Parrot Heads played with the photo booth. We even got a picture with the gang who came to help. the DJ played Buffett music all day!




All was going well but then the food trucks didn't have enough people to run then so they cancelled. Soon a vendor, Justin Antilla from Antillas Fencing decided to get hot dogs and cooked them for us. He wouldn't take any money (we tried to give him some many times). What a wonderful person! That is what this is all about, community coming together for others. We also had a pinata and a dance group that performed for us. It was a good time for all of us. See you next year!

St. Patrick's Pup Crawl

Well only 5 Parrot Heads showed up for the Port Huron St. Patrick's Pub Crawl. We gathered at the Yacht Club. Some ate, some just had drinks and one danced to the Unicorn song. Then on to The Axe Company (some ate there) and then downstairs to Bootleggers for drink. No bands until later and only piano player downstairs.



Then off to Wrigley Center. They had a DJ playing some good songs. They also had a black light so we all were pritty lit! Ha Ha



Before we left there Bill said something that made Candi mad (most likely used military time) so she picked up a chair and .....! Don't mess with Candi! On our way to the next bar, Casey's at McMorran, we spotted a Budweiser ad so the Bud lovers in the group had to get a pic by it.



At Casey's we had drinks and more swag to wear! There was no band there either.



We hit a few more bars; Lynch's, Active, City Limits and Plat 1 Pub before calling it a night. It was a small group but we all had a good time.
