Pirate Days- The Colony, TX. 2008

Pirate Days in The Colony, TX. 2008 was a huge success. The festive atmosphere included- Music from local bands, food with flair, many vendors, sword fights, and Pirates from 'far, far away'. I was there to participate in the fundraiser for the Friends of The Colony Dog Park (non-profit organization).

Bounce House!

This really works!

Haaaa! Very cool. So this is what a P.H. looks like, eh? Nice (ROTFL). Will call you when I get back in. <3 C.

Thanks CTS! It was a lot of fun. I will post more about it in time to come. I am still exhausted from all the activity.

Cuuuuuutttteeee outfit lady! Looks like fun! KM

KM- Thanks! I am really not the pirate type but it was for a good cause. People were talking to me in 'pirate speak' and I couldn't respond.

Looks like a really cool event, I'm sure you had a blast.

Mel, this looked like a fun event and I love your outfit. You are the "natural" as a pirate.

JL- I had a lot of fun but it got really hot walking around in the costume.

Gary- Pirates are pretty wild! It was a great excuse to be silly.

Mel..I loved the picture. Looks like a good time for all. Was this a fund raiser for the dog park itself or for the group who will run it?

William- It was an event for The Colony, TX. I am one of the officers of Friends of The Colony Dog Park. We try to be involved in every event. We still need 1k more signatures for the petition and more funding. The next event is the Christmas Parade. For a small town we certainly have BIG FUN!

Mel ~ Sounds like it was a good event. You look very wench-like in your costume! I think you should make it your profile picture! ; )

Kathy- I was going for 'Dog Phsycic' but that is ok. I am afraid if I change my pic people will start saying "argh" and things like that to me. I don't have a clue!

Hi Mel! You look good! Very cute! Did you raise a lot of money? I hope so!

Well Mel you look like quite fetching in your piratey dog physic costume! Looks like a fun time was had by all and hopefully it was a successful fundraiser!

Mel...so was Brandon the swashbuckler that got slapped?

Mel... I featured this in Whacked but I cannot add an image!

Melody, It looks like so much FUN, I'm glad you had a wonderful time! I enjoyed the pictures and the video. Wonderful event for a great cause.

Susan- We should have the totals at the meeting tomorrow. We invested so I am hoping we did better than just break even.

Mandi- Thanks! It was the first day so it was pretty much a trial run for the costume. It was much better on day two when we held the 'Salty Dog' contest. I will get around to posting that one soon.

Richard- No, no! He was a gentleman and a soldier. He was leave and his parents were a big part of the event. (Probably not much older than me. His parnets that is).

Carole- We are getting the word out in a big way. I am making a flyer of good reasons for a dog park. "Less poop in your yard!" I could use some input!

Richard- Thanks a bunch! I need all the help I can get. Per my response to Carole- I am making a flyer of good reasons why we need a dog park here. Any input?

AAARG, Looks like you had a good time Mel for a great cause. What did the dogs have to say Madam Psychic?

Cameron- I basically just gave them dog treats. They were happy with that.

Argh Matey! Looks like you had a salty time of it! hahaha Liked the video, and loved the song.

Good morning Mel,

It looks like you had a great time and I hope tht you were able to raise a lot of money for the dog park.

BTW, I did like your costume too.

My Mel you look very impressive as a gypsy! This looks like a lot of fun. Hope you raised a lot of $

I just had to pop back in and check out the comments. Looking forward to the next round of pictures from day two (LOL).

Your costume was perfect. You look exactly like a gypsy, pirate, dog psychic! It is so obvious! :o) Nothing like a corset to make everything look good!

Pam- We had some contests that I didn't post about. That will be later...

Don- I hope so! It sure was hot in that get up!

Paddy- Thanks!

CTS- They are slowly coming along.

Cristal- A girl has to do what a girl has to do!
