After the Jesters Care for Kids Charity Fair on Saturday
September 20, comes the Pub Night at Shenanigans, Pattaya. The Pub Night for
the Jesters Care for Kids Charity Drive follows on from the Fair and Bike
Ride (more about that later).
Andy
Francis (left) and Neil Smith last year kept the night buzzing as MC’s.
The younger children have had their turn with tugs of
war, egg and spoon races, etc., now it is time for those young at heart to
have a night out. All the fun starts at 6 p.m. with the three comperes: Andy
Francis, Neil Smith and Paul Jackson, starting the fun off with a load of
disco music, spot prizes for the lucky early birds, and Happy Hour prices
that should get everybody in the mood.
Following the opening there will be auctions of loads of
fabulous stuff that has been donated by Pattaya’s very generous community,
including a David Beckham signed football and shirt, various cricket items,
plus shirts, paintings, etc., all of which can be viewed in the bar the week
before or on the Care for Kids website. The auctioneering will be done by
the famous Eddie Hefner.
The
Sisters from the Fountain of Life enjoyed the night, even if it was just a
little too wild for them.
At 11:30 p.m. the Grand Raffle top ten prizes will be
drawn from the drum, including different airline tickets, TVs, and a whole
host of other prizes. After the raffle the evening will be concluded by
Pop’s Pattaya All Stars playing live on stage, joined later in the evening
by Pattaya’s own Rick and Harpic, who will rock you through till the early
hours of the morning.
The Pub Night is a great way to have fun and do some good
for all the beneficiaries of the Jesters Care for Kids Charity Drive, so as
well as doing some good for the kids you can have a good time doing it too.
See you at the bar on September 20.
The Jesters ‘Care for Kids’ Children’s Fair is now
