  For those who have never experienced the Tallahassee Parrothead Club’s biggest fundraiser of the year, I have compiled some Phrenzy PHACTS.

· It started in 2005 as the PIRATE PHRENZY –conceived as a yearly Pirate Ball to benefit the two local non-profits who care for caregivers of persons with dementia, Alzheimer’s Resource Center and Alzheimer’s Project. The word “Frenzy” is from Jimmy Buffett’s song “Fins” – as in “a feeding frenzy,” - this would be a partying frenzy. We spell it with a PH because ParrotHead clubs like to replace F’s with PH for “Parrot Heads” whenever possible. 

· In 2006, the name was changed to Parrothead Phrenzy because people told us “We didn’t know it was a Parrothead thing!” The two non-profits had now merged, so the Phrenzy benefits only Alzheimer’s Project, Inc. 

· This event turns The Moon into a BIG beach bar for the night: 4-6 piece Jimmy Buffett tribute type band, Jimmy Parrish & the Waves, a Seaside Silent Auction, Wine Toss, Cork Pull, Pirate and Tropical Costume Contest, Tiki Hut, surprise games and a large Buffett Buffet. 

· The Phrenzy was originally a Pirate Ball and we still encourage you to dress up like a pirate! There is a costume contest for both Pirates and the best Tropical Outfit. Winners get a small prize and trophy. If you don’t want to dress up crazy, the dress code is from shorts and nice shirts to tropical dresses. No suits allowed!

· The Buffett Buffet is a mix of foods donated by local restaurants and area chefs. A sample of what is available: BBQ pork sliders, wings, pizza, chopped salad, and desserts. The Buffet is open from 7pm until the food runs out, usually about 8:15pm. 

Tickets are $40 and are available soon at tallahasseeparrotheadclub.com, moonevents.com and at summer socials. If you buy online, there is a fee.
