TRAILER TRASH PARTY

TRAILER TRASH COSTUME PARTY

January 14^th, 2014

2 PM – 5:30 PM

The Appetizers:  I think you captured the spirit of the thing.  Some of these appetizers made me a little squeamish!!

Twinkie Beer Can Tower

This looks pretty edible!

This - not so much!

 Those little brown mounds are really Tootsie Rolls and it tasted really good! 

What?

Frog Eyes - they must have been from BIG frogs!

Do I see SPAM??

 

Redneck Deli Sandwich

Okay a Twinkie wrapped up in Bologna.  I just want to know if anyone ate one!!!

I see worms!

This was someone's plate!!  They actually ate it all!

The Group Is Starting To Graze

ATTIRE:  Your own costume evoking the REDNECK, TRAILER TRASH OR POOR TASTE that resides in all of us

Well, all I can say is that people around here REALLY know how to look trashy!!

John and Martha did the 50/50 for the evening for the Parade Group.  The winners won $60 and we won!!   The last time we won, we bought new lights for the Christmas Lighting Contest.  That was my idea.  This time maybe I'll let Lee decide what to do with it!  lol

TWINKIE CONTEST - What can I say, you had to be there to experience the chaos.  Donna Ritchie tried to keep our contestants in line, but it was hopeless.  Our contestants were Martie Senker, Chuck Cullet, Ray Uselman, Dianna Drake, and Jim Melvin.  The winner was Dianna Drake but cheating was the name of the game.  She hid the uneaten Twinkies all over, including in her bra!!  It was a hoot!

Contestants Martie Senker, Chuck Cullet, Ray Uselman, Dianna Drake, and Jim Melvin

Donna Ritchie had a hard time keeping control

I thought Lee would split a gut while he was putting this together!  If you sat in the back of the room, make sure you watch.  This is better than Lucy and Ethel packing chocolates!

Dianna Drake declared herself the winner

And she Was the Winner!

ENTERTAINMENT -

We had some great tunes but we experienced some sound and other difficulties.  If you weren't able to hear the words to these tunes, we'll drag them out again at a later date.  They are terrific.  We did capture a couple on video that seemed to work better than the others.

QUEEN OF THE ROAD:  Carol Earley sang Queen of the Road to the music of King of the Road.

Carol Earley

HOLD YOUR NOSES:  Pic (Carol) Carmack sang Hold Your Noses to the tune of Paper Roses.  Here she is in action.

Pic Carmack and Mike Earley behind her

RVing IS THE LIFE FOR ME:  Carolyn Sommers and Dale Loerch did a sort of duet.  It was a fiasco.  Carolyn's mike was off and Dale tried to help and things went from bad to worse.  We'll have to try this again some time.  

Dale Loerch and Carolyn Sommers

ARE YOU STARTING TO AGE:  Kathy Loerch attempted this one but had problems hearing the music and we couldn't hear her either so this is another one, we'll do at another time.  

EVERYBODY NEEDS SOME DUCT TAPE SOMETIME:  Mike Earley attempted this one and didn't do too badly since he was a stand in at the last minute.  

LIFE AT THE RANCH: The whole group attempted the Life at the Ranch song to the tune of "Old Time Rock & Roll.  We will probably pull this one out again too.

There was a bit of dancing to Karaoke.

Jack Bass and Darlene Peters

Dale Loerch and Char Leach

Donna Jenkins and Lee Benfield

 Ever try to dance with a baby bump?  Or two????

Bob and Kathy Doddridge

BEER CAN TOSS CONTEST:

Finally, we headed outside for the Beer Can Toss Contest which was Men vs Women.  It was a close game.  The women won by 10 points!!
