PODS Angels Holiday Party 2008
Comedy at it's best...Party the Pringle way, wing it!
For those who were not at our annual PODS Angels Holiday Party we had a few snags...
The party started off with a bang. Party goers registered with everything being on time. The Bob Evans food in the warmers and out to the line on time, the "nuggets" about 30 minutes longer than I had planned so the food line got a late start, Our wonderful "REAL" Santa broke his leg at noon and was thought coming...in a wheel chair might be traumatic to the children so Mrs. Claus's actual real life husband stepped up to the plate...he put the jolly red suit on....what a guy! The next was a HUGE 911 fire which took our Shiny red fire engine...Nancy saw the smoke from that fire as the Harris Photo Studio on Wheels was on its way to the party...so we even have a picture of that!...
Yes this is ALL true, I am not making this up. At 6pm this wonderful DJ comes, sets up a complete set up, starts playing and things are hopping... in about a 1/2 hour our music man shows up and says he is Our music man...??? So who is the DJ on the stage playing???? I gently approach the DJ who informs me he was called and told to be here...that the women who called him to be here knew the women who works at the yacht club... OK !?* I am confused.... but it is getting everyone up dancing so OK... about 1/2 hour later he packs up and leaves.... Jeff is outside playing the guitar on the park bench.... the night security approaches me to say the DJ was at the wrong event and was to be over at the "other" party...in the other building across the street! I got a "free" hour of great dancing DJ music!! So Jeff OUR REAL ENTERTAINER gets off the bench out front and goes on stage...LOL This is COMEDY at it's best.
The food was great, Jeff got the kids involved in singing with him at the microphone! Some of the volunteers began to get kids singing in groups...all the kids had their moment of fame on the stage singing! Many were busy at the craft table making gifts for parents. The raffle gave two children brand new bikes that were donated!! All the children left with smiling faces. Another successful year with many to thank for all their help.
Make your plans to attend next year! Volunteers are always needed months ahead of time to help get things rolling so the party goes off without 'so much COMEDY'!!
See everyone in December 2009!
