Hello and Happy Friday, Parrot Heads!!
Thank you to ALL who came to the Parrot Head 5280 Fest – 2019 Party With a Purpose!!!
What a wonderful event that was. I have seen a LOT of great comments about the event on FaceBook. Several people worked very hard to make this event a success. I won’t list all the individual names because I don’t want anyone feeling bad if I forget someone.. and with my memory lately.. I will forget someone. So, for all those who helped Pete and Robin… THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! The party was a HUGE success because of all of you!!
The entertainment was outstanding! As I’m sure you are all aware, there were delays because of flights coming in that day.. so thanks to those who stayed to the end!
At the end of the night, those of us still there, had a really special treat with an acoustic set around the camp fire! Thom, Coley, Stoney and Mike all sang for us, around the fire that Pete built at the other end of the yard. Stoney did some stand-up comedy, while Mike, Thom, and Coley took requests and sang some songs they have written. It was absolutely awesome!
Our 25th Anniversary Party was also a big success! Thanks to all of our past presidents for attending the 5280 Fest so we could celebrate our Silver Anniversary! We had a nice Anniversary cake and we got to hear from all of our past presidents. It was a nice treat to have them all in attendance!
I’ll get the final numbers for amounts raised for our charities soon. Thanks to all who donated baskets, silent auction items, and to all those who bought tickets and items! Our auction and raffle was also a BIG success!
Parrot Heads are a GREAT group of people!
THANK YOU!
We still have T-shirts left over that we had made for the event! They are really nice! We have white or teal colors, mens cut or ladies v-neck cut. They will be for sale at the meeting in August or you can contact Robin or Pete to arrange getting one. They are $30 each. President Pete is modeling one below:
August Events
August “Margaritas Around Denver” is tomorrow evening! This month we are meeting down South so some of our fellow Parrot Heads from the South part of Denver and Colorado Springs can join us. We will be meeting at 4pm at La Casa Fiesta New Mexican Restaurant at 230 Front Street, Monument, Colorado.
Don’t forget your Margarita passports for the next stamp! If you don’t have one, Karen will have some at the event. See you all Saturday evening!
Please let Karen or Robin know if you will be there so we get an accurate head count for the restaurant.
ZAC Brown Concert!! Friday, August 9 – Coors Field
Who is going to Zac Brown???
Watch for notices on our FaceBook page and in next week’s newsletter to get logistics of any pre-concert meet-ups going on.
Rolling Stones Concert!! – Saturday, August 10.
Is anyone going to the Stones concert at Mile High Stadium? This may very
well be their last trip to Denver. I don’t want to “jinx’ them or put bad
karma on them.. but given their ages and given the fact it has been about 10
years since they were in Denver last… they may not get back our way ever
again. It’s sure to be a fantastic show.
Watch for notices on our FaceBook page and in next week’s newsletter to
get logistics of any pre-concert meet-ups going on. (I am well aware the
Stones are not a Trop Rock band, but most of us are certainly of the age to
know their music)
