"They" say 80+ degree weather for Friday. SWEET!

So come on over and start the weekend with some good folks, snacks, food (Beth has something special cooked up) and maybe a cold one or two.

Be sure to stop by if you want to be part of this weeks BIG MONEY BONANZA! You must have been present the Friday before the drawing to win. Be here 4/30 for the 5/1 drawing. I'm thinking we have 6 bucks in the kitty from last week to invest so the odds are better for this week!

The rain held off but the crowd didn't!

We were expecting a sparse first Happy Hour of the year gathering. We were pleasantly surprised to be able to greet 17 friends!

Brien receives the first guest of the season award. We were shocked and quite pleasantly surprised to have Bill and Marlene in attendance.

Here's a few pics taken.

BIG MONEY BONANZA!

I forgot to post the BIG MONEY info at the April 23 Happy Hour due to the unexpected turnout and perhaps because of some Two Hearted Ale and maybe a Levitation Ale or two.

Here's how we are going to do it. Each Friday that we can remember to, we will purchase a single power ball ticket for $2.00. It will be for the next days drawing. If it hits we will be splitting the winnings with all those in attendance. For example a $240,000,000 pot divided by let's say 20 guests with us included of course, would equal $12,000,000 each. You have to be a welcome guest, come through the gate and say hello or something and be seen by us to be included. You have to pay your own taxes. We reserve the right to change the rules as we see fit.

BTW we did purchase a $2.00 ticket this past Friday from Skips west end Market Basket. If you see something in the paper about someone hitting from that location, give us a call in Tahiti. Hee hee just kidding.

OK. If we hit a small prize, let's say under $5.00 each, we'll roll it over into the next ticket purchase so you will have to stop by the next Friday we have HH to be part of that nights windfall.

That's just what happened on the 4-24 drawing. We hit the "Power ball" and nothing else but I had purchased what the attendant so seductively called a "Doubler". I couldn't resist the lure of the Doubler so I think we win $3.00 x 2 for a grand total of $6.00 to invest in next HH's BIG MONEY BONANZA!

Let's give it a go!

The weather report has it 65 and sunny this coming Friday. We'll have some goodies and a few cold ones on hand. We hope to see you.

Oh yea ... if you're here, you might win some BIG MONEY! I kid you not! Details upon arrival.

April is moving along nicely

and so are expectations for Happy Hour.

The pool is open and weathered winter just fine. The cool to cold nights have not allowed the water to warm much but that's to be expected this time of year.

I think we will be ready for a April 23 Happy Hour. The weather report is good all week until, drat, Friday. That's a long way off so I'll hope for a break with the forecast.

Check back and I'll post a thumbs up or down for HH 4-23-10.
