Another fantastic event for K9 Tenerife, thanks Nicola and the team at Oscar’s Entertainment Bar!

We held a Tombola and a Raffle and towards the end of the afternoon we had raised around 200 Euro.  That was however until we were approached by one of the regular customers to Oscar’s Bar who very kindly doubled what we had raised so far!  This meant that by the time we left our total was 534 Euro, thanks to the incredible generosity of everyone there!

Ray Wilde introduced many Entertainers onto the stage during the afternoon (we left at 8pm even though the party was continuing until the early hours), including The Beatles, Waterloo ‘Abba’, Tuxedo Nights, Jesse Garon, Johnny O’Connor as Frank Sinatra, Mitch Mitchell as Freddie Mercury, Kevin Isaacs as Comedy Elvis, The Blues Brothers, Avril Taylor as Cher, Jason as Boy George and a very different Elvis (!).  There was also a very special performance by a young lady from the Ritmania Dance Studios.

We mustn’t forget about Power FM Radio’s live outside broadcast, I believe this went on all afternoon until around 6pm, which meant that people all over the world were able to listen to the Party.  Val Richardson was on the Sofa and interviewed all the acts as they left the stage (it’s a good job it was only radio and not TV, the interview with The Blues Brothers might have had to have been censored!!!!)

Thanks to Chloe, Eli and Veronica for helping to sell the Raffle Tickets during the course of the afternoon, we had a big basket of goodies for first prize, a fruit basket, a bottle of Liqueurs and an hours help and advice from Happy Tails Dog Training.

Special thanks also go to Shahid and the Team from Options Marketing, these guys were amazing and wanted me to make sure that everyone knows they are an equal opportunities employer as they do employ a dwarf called Shaun (I hope I don’t get into bother from the PC Brigade for this remark!).

I understand from Nicola that Oscar’s may be holding this type of event on a more regular basis, so keep an eye out for more details – it really was a great afternoon, I know that many residents were able to meet up with people they hadn’t seen for ages!
