A Little PHrivolity for PHebruary, 2006.

The Villages ParrotHead Club Monthly "PHive O'Clock Somewhere" Getogether
will be on Main Street in Leesburg
Saturday, PHebruary 18, 2006, PHive PM 'till?
Meet at the Towne Square, corner of Main St. and N. 5th Street
Proudly wear your Villages ParrotHead name tag and golf shirt (or a costume)!

If you didn't get to go to Gasparilla with us, or if you did go but you didn't get enough doubloons, trinkets and beads in Tampa, here's another chance to hone your loot-catching skills. Leesburg has a very nice Mardi Gras PHestival coming up this month and we're all going. PHirst, we'll meet at the corner of PHiPHth and Main at PHive O'Clock, and wander downtown looking for the best PHood and PHroth concessions. Yep, beer and wine will be available in designated areas. No coolers allowed however. Then we'll stake-out a place along the parade route to see all the PHloats as this great little 'burg hosts it's 9th Annual Mardi Gras Parade, a full 10 days before The Villages' celebration. The PHestivities start at 7 PM, goes from 11th St. to Canal St. and admission is PHree, of course! PHolding chairs are not really necessary since we'll be doing a lot of waving, shouting and jumping for those damn little beads! But leave them in your car just in case you want to stay late and be really entertained... because after the parade, Rodney Thibodeaux & "Tout Les Soir" ('Too-lay-swah'), direct from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, will be playing Cajun/Zydeco PHavorites. My kinda music! They'll be at the Palmetto St. stage (just one of 3 music stages that night). And that night's trivia question is: Which member of the band is named "Butch". So, - no PHormal meeting, - no PHreakin' announcements; - just ParrotHead PHun and PHrivolity!

See you at PHive O'Clock Somewhere on Main Street in Leesburg on PHeb. 18th!

Directions: Car pooling is encouraged. Take Route 27/441 south toward Leesburg and keep left at "the split" PHollowing 441 about another mile. Then turn right on N. Palmetto St. (the one after N. 3rd St.). Go about PHive blocks and park in the Public Parking Garage or on the side streets if you're lucky. Walk down to Main St., turn right and walk PHive short blocks to North PHiPHth Street at the Towne Square. Ask the locals for directions if you get lost; they're very PHriendly because everyone's related to Ann Blanchard here!
