Freeport, Grand Bahama - The weather, the setting, the music, the models, the food, the drink, the fashions, and of course the guests! All came together perfectly for a beautiful, fun event last Saturday, May 25th at Count Basie Square in the Port Lucaya Marketplace.
195 guests, including residents and visitors alike, enjoyed the beverages provided by our sponsors at Sands Brewery, Bristol Wines & Spirits, ENTwineD, Caribbean Bottling Co., and Crown Ice. A delicious variety of appetizers were provided by supporting Port Lucaya restaurants Molly Malone's, Le Med, Cafe Breezes, La Parilla, Zorba's, After Deck, Cappucino's, the Dive-In Bar and Pisces.
The gorgeous (and handsome) models showed off apparel from Bandolera, Animale, and UNEXSO, in addition to some donated designer clothing that was on sale by the HSGB. Not to be left out were our show-stealing doggy models; potcakes Roy and Roxanne, HSGB alumni; and Tyson, the adorable Dachshund. Last but certainly not least, Kenton Pinder as M.C. made the event even more superb with his charm and wit.
A popular and successful Chinese raffle and door prizes, included prizes donated by Columbian Emeralds, Purina, artist Bob Tarzwell, Eden Wellness Spa, Molly Malone's, and Grand Bahama: No Bite Zone. (See here for more info on this new initiative: https://www.facebook.com/groups/GrandBahamaNoBiteZone/)
Johnny Mathieson set the mood early on with his melodic renditions of some old classics. DJ Luchan took us into and through the fashion show with his usual aplomb and style and to cap off the night, Grand Bahama's own fabulous K.B. performed two songs that had everyone clapping, tapping their feet, and singing along, including a brand new song written just for HSGB called "A Potcake's Howl", co-written with HSGB Board Member Jill Cooper.
The HSGB especially thanks Mr. Peter Hunt for Port Lucaya Marketplace's wonderful sponsorship of this event, and Mrs. Karen Ferguson-Bain for her tremendous assistance and collaboration.
We'd also like to thank these sponsors for their various important assistance and ongoing support: Barefoot Marketing, BahamaIslandsInfo, Purina, Love97 Radio, Bahama Buy & Sell, Crown Ice, Bahamas Weekly, C&L Signs, and Nesbitt Rentals.
Special acknowledgement to HSGB Fundraising Chairperson Beverley Dobinson and HSGB Board Member Caraline Holding for their stellar organizing and running of this event. Many thanks to the LIS students who helped serve the food, to all our amazing volunteers and models, and to HSGB Accounts Manager Jennifer Campbell for the fabulous photos.
Last but not least, heartfelt thanks to everyone who came out to support our work on behalf of Grand Bahama's homeless animals. Be sure to mark your calendars for Posh Paws 2016 - same place, same weekend!!
