The 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk was Friday August 24-Sunday August 26.  We had 10 members on the St MinneSomePlace Crew Team!  7 of us were on hand Thursday, August 23rd; yes, crew members have an extra day before walkers show up, to help this great cause!  Our main job was to work in the “kitchen” serving food, breakfast, lunch and dinner (4:30 am until 9pm)!  In between, we did “other duties as assigned:  decorate the mess hall, check in walkers, help at Opening and Closing Ceremonies, clean up camp after ALL walkers and spectators left, and  somewhere in that time, find energy to cheer on the great walkers! We also had time to reflect on what a great experience the weekend was!  I want to thank all of you who supported us not only financially, but spiritually also!  We have heard a lot of great feedback from many of you.  Again, thank you, our Parrot Head PHriends!   the Twin Cities event raised over $7 million for research and our crew of 10 people raised over $3,500!  Thanks to the 3-day crew of  Lynn Appel, Brenda Nygren-Moe, Nancy Nygren, Jen Nolting, Connie Nelson and her daughter Summer, Jean Hummel, Kelli Bechtel, and Daunne Schaller  for raising money for this great purpose!  Julie (Jules) Winters

Hold 'Em Tournament
Just a few aces, with cards up our sleeves

.
Feb 16  The first Parrot Head Hold 'Em tournament is in the history books.  We had 19 Parrot Heads partake in the event with Jim Hegarty taking home the grand prize (Admission for 2 to THR).  Tamara Boll came in second (2 Margaritaville pilsner glasses) and Dave Appelbaum took third (new CLub t-shirt).  The evening was a huge success for all involved as a few of the novice players were still in the game long after a few of the more experienced ones went down.  The big winners of the evening were the THR charities for whom we raised $255!!  Way to Go Parrot Heads!  Thank you to Clint Pullin and Erik Moe for putting this tournament together and making it the success it was!

 

2007 Winter Carnival
 From somewhere deep within the imaginary boundaries of the St MinneSomePlace archipelago, on the banks of the Mississippi River, lies Beautiful Harriet Island, the winter destination for all things Carnival. Even Jimmy Buffett's hand has touched our annual winter tribute this year.  Come to the Island to play on the Snow Slide, get lost in the amazing maze, warm up in the Minnesota Hotdish Tent, or take in the sled dog races and the ice and snow masterpieces.  This year, Jimmy Buffett and Margaritaville are sponsoring the Jamaica Dog Sled Team and a team in the highly competitive Snow Sculpture contest.  The dog race is on Saturday, Feb 3.  As for the snow sculpting, highly skilled sculptors from around the region had 48 hours to create their masterpieces from blocks of snow in a competition for OOOH's and AAAAH's but also for a chance to go on to the national competition. How do you get blocks of snow?  It takes some stompers....see the pictures below for the photographic evidence.  The Margaritaville team is sculpting the Hemisphere Dancer as well as other usual icons of Parrot Headonism.  Stay tuned for more pictures of the final results.  For more details, go to: Winter Carnival
Don't Stop the Carnival!

Welcome to the Carnival!

The Winter Carnival Closing Night
During the course of the event, we managed to raise over $230 for The Neighborhood House which was Margaritaville's charity of choice for this event.  Over the two evenings during which we participated, we also donated over 188 volunteer hours.  See?  We are able to do more than just write checks!  We were thanked pretty heavily from the people of Margaritaville and even received some donations to the club for upcoming events.
