NE, CR • Time: 2-5 p.m. Now that we can officially put the thoughts of chestnuts roasting and Christmas stress on the back burner for another year, what’s left to get us through to the warm days of spring? The 9th Annual “Blues & Buffett” Chili Challenge on February 22 - Oh, Yeah!!! The planning is well under way and excitement is building for this year’s event. The Event Committee with members from both the Linn County Blues Society (LCBS) and the Isle of Iowa Parrot Head Club (IIPHC) will say it again that this is an important year for the Chili Challenge and the charities it supports. Both charity organizations, the H.D. Youth Center and the Boys and Girls Club, incurred catastrophic damage from the historic flood of this past June. They need our help now more than ever. The focus of the planning is beginning to shift to specific needs and commitments for the actual event day, but the Committee is asking both clubs for their support in the following areas: 1) Event Sponsorship – It’s still not too late to add your employer/business to the list of sponsors providing this event with the community commitment it needs. Many companies have local community funds that can provide small amounts of support for events of this type. The Committee has a letter to help ask for this support, as well as the non-profit paperwork that may be required. Contact one of the event coordinators if you’d like a copy of this letter. Or, if you’re not comfortable asking for sponsorship, provide us with a contact name and we will pursue it for you. Even though it’s getting late we can still use and add publicity value for any company/businesses wanting to participate 2) Contestants/Volunteers – Events of this type take the help of a lot of people to make the event run smoothly and efficiently. We will be looking for both types of help. If you’ve been a contestant in the past you will be contacted to ask f or your participation again this year. Sign-up sheets will be available at club meetings this month. 3) Silent Auction Items – A large portion of what we raise happens from the great items that are contributed. This year will be no exception. If you have interest in donating or know of someone the event coordinators can contact, please let us know. We’d like to have the silent auction items identified and collected by early February so we can promote the auction during media interviews. This event has grown dramatically from its humble beginnings eight years ago and has become a major fundraising event, as well as a source of pride, for both clubs. While the hardships of the last year (natural/economic) have stretched the community’s resources, the committee feels that this year’s event, with your support, can be the most successful ever. Thanks in advance for your support. Steve Petersen 395-9520 Kate Sanders 842-2393 Steve Springer 395-9516 Keith Wright 573-5153 Andy Dergo 393-2859 3 Information on the Phlock Parade A Success!

  • Son of a Sailor High Tide Tour Comes to Honda Center Anahiem
    Partying With A Purpose For 25 Years! December 2019 Son Of a Sailor High Tide Tour Comes To Honda Center Anahiem It had been three years since Jimmy Buffett & The Coral Reefer Band had come to Orange County, CA. That year in 2016, they were in town to close down the iconic Irvine Meadows Amphitheater. The Last Mango in Irvine concert was the last time The Orange County Parrot Head Club was able to host a parking lot party. Following the demolition of Irvine Meadows, many believed that Jimmy would not play in Orange County again. Everything changed when on National Margarita Day, an announcement was made that Jimmy and The Band was com- ing back to Orange County and playing in October at The Honda Center in Anaheim. The OCPHC knows how to host a party and this year was no exception. Parrot Heads from all over the country came to The Honda Center Parking Lot, which opened at 10:00 am for an 8:00 pm concert. The OCPHC RV was the center of the parking lot party. D.J. Dave Jensen opened the festivities with great Trop Rock music from Noon to 3pm. Alec Bauer took the stage and played the sea of parrot heads all the way to concert time. RV Access Passes, allowing the bearer to restroom access and some OCPHC swag, sold out quickly, with the proceeds cover- ing the cost of the event. Continued on Page 2 ocphc.org 1 High Tide Tour continued… Along with Coolers full of boat drinks, live music, great food and a parrot head photo frame, The OCPHC had chests full of jello shots in various flavors.
