World’s Largest Hurricane Party

If you don’t live in hurricane alley, you’ve probably never heard of a “Hurricane Party.” if you do live in hurricane country, then you know what it is.

For you outsiders, I’ll explain it. What happens is…a hurricane forms and is tracked. As the news of its direction and landfall are predicted, a few idiots will get together and have a “Hurricane Party” to spit in the eye of nature. No one knows who held the first party, but there are stories of people who perished because they chose not to evacuate during these monster storms. (Alcohol is a big factor in these parties.)

I belong to a charity group who came up with the idea of hosting “The World’s Largest Hurricane Party” to raise money to help victims of hurricanes. We host this party on an annual basis.

The party is held PRIOR to the start of hurricane season (we’re no dummies) and attracts hundreds of people. There is live music, free food and beer (see what I mean about alcohol) plus games, raffles and drawings.

The best part is the fact that all goods are donated (including the bands) and all workers are volunteers. In other words, 100% of the money raised goes to charity.

So if your going to be in the Tampa Bay area in May, make plans to come out and party with some of the coolest people you’ll ever meet.

You can get tickets and information by going to www.kreweskare.org and signing up.

See ya’ there.
