Registration is now open!
Time to get your summer Daze on! The Pelican Coast Parrot Head Club's annual charity fund raising event is promising to be another great and memorable time! This year, Pelican Coast Daze will be held on the water at the Lake Charles Boat Club on Kiwanis Lane! We will once again have great MUSIC, FOOD AND FUN!
Bring your lawn chairs, ice chest of beverages and your party self out to the Boat Club to spend a fun day with friends, watch the sun set over the water and most importantly, help raise money for worthy causes.
Included in the registration fee besides three great musical performances, Daren Sarver will be serving up his world famous "Daren Doggs" during the day and then as our main meal in the afternoon, we'll be serving pork roast (curtesy of Fat Boyz Kitchen), rice dressing, green beans, rolls. You'll also receive a commemorative Daze 2018 T-shirt and other goodies if you register by Monday, May 21st.
This year the music will start at noon and end at 10:30 pm.
Registration is $45/person, plus a $2 service charge per registrant when paying with PayPal. You can save the $2 service fee by sending in your check to:
Pelican Coast Parrot Head Club
P.O. Box 5393
Lake Charles, LA 70606
Either way, you must also download, fill out and send in the following registration form: 2018 Registration Form
May 21, 2018 was the last day to register for Daze to get a T-shirt and goody bag.
Remember, Daze is open to basically anyone who pays the registration fee, not just our members. So this is your chance to invite your friends and neighbors to see how much fun we have while raising money and hopefully get them to join the Club!
Doors will open at 11am.
12:00pm - 3:00pm Louisiana's own Steve McCloud starts off the music for us and will get the crowd cranked up.
Steve grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana and has travelled and played throughout most of the lower 48 states. He spent a year playing acoustic guitar and singing Trop Rock songs at the Tarpon Lounge on Cabbage Key.
Fast forward 25 years and Steve is now living the good life in Louisiana, where he has lived for the last 22 years in the beautiful town of Pineville, or as Steve calls it, "Parrotville". The weather in Parrotville is pleasant most of the year and Steve has earned a reputation for wearing flip flops everywhere he goes ... so the name Flip Flop Man has become the perfect pseudonym. Steve says, the Flip Flop Man stage name exemplifies a lifestyle and attitude that he wants to communicate through his music and casual performance style. He has performed several times for our club the past few years and has become one of my personal favorites.
So as you can see, we have a super lineup of music, fun, and food along with raffles and a silent auction! Also, there are unconfirmed rumors floating around that the internationally renowned...oh, wait, make that ‘renounced’ Docta Phlocka, his rag-tag band of Restless Na’ives and the lovely and talented Phlockettes might show up after they get back from their Fiji performance. It all depends on if they can raise bail, but that's another subject we won't talk about.
So release your inner "Oom-Bah-Yay" and come join us for the real reason why we do this, the raising of as much money for our charities as we can!
Oh, and PLEASE consider donating an article or two for the Silent Auction, we would really appreciate it!
In case you were wondering...
The song begins with lyrics in Tahitian:
Ia ora te natura

It concludes with the same verse plus:
Which is translated as:
Jimmy Buffett said that while travelling the islands, he was moved to write this song one afternoon as he sat on the balcony of his hotel room watching the local children. It is memorialized in the lyrics "Where children play on the shore each day".
E mea arofa teie ao nei
"Nature lives (life to nature)
Have pity for the Earth (Love the Earth)"
Ua pau te maitai no te fenua
Re zai noa ra te ora o te mitie
"Bounty of the land is exhausted
But there's still abundance on the sea."
Fins up!
