WOW! What a PHantastic Meeting we had last night!

 
Well Tampa Bay Parrot Heads you certainly didn't let your Skipper down! You came out in your Pirate outfits in celebration of Gasparilla and it we had one PHabulous Parrot Pirate Party!

We want to say thanks to Jim Hannigan of Capt'n Morgan and Whiskey Joe's for helping us have a great time. Jim sent his own thank you note and I wanted to pass it on:

To all: On behalf of Coastal Wine & Spirits-Florida, thanks for allowing me and my good friend “Captain Morgan” to be a part of your meeting at Whiskey Joe’s this past Wednesday evening! It was a great turnout, and I do believe everyone had some good fun! Thanks to all who participated in the best dressed costumes, as you were all great! I hope everyone had a chance to walk away with some sort of “Captain Morgan “ swag during the evening! If not, no worries, as there will more opportunities throughout the year! Congrats to Mary and Bob Noble who were the lucky winners of the Captain Morgan event at Jackson’s on Gasparilla Saturday! What a morning they are in for! To all my “phriends” and “phellow Parrot Heads”, thanks for the support of all my brands, in a responsible manner of course: “Captain’s Orders”! Have a fabulous weekend! Happy Gasparilla to all! Phins Up! Cheers!



PS: I am removing myself from ever drawing tickets for the raffle again, as the chances of two blue tickets in a row is unbelievable! Wow!
