Appleton Jamaica Rum will be overpouring the cups of patrons this Friday at the Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre, as the highly anticipated Appleton May Daze Party series returns for its third staging.
Dubbed 'Appleton May Daze - The Movie', the promoters decided to take the party to the box office, turning its signature weekly themed event into five nights of movie fantasy. Each night, popular movies, such as Friday, Sex and the City, Dancehall Queen, Scary Movie and Stomp the Yard will be shown.
"We wanted to do something different," said party promoter Dwayne Harris. "The event is treasured for its out-of-the-box party themes, so this year, we had to do something no one has done before."
This Friday's theme is 'Ghetto Fabulosity', which is mirroring the popular '90s urban American movie Friday, starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker. The promoters urge patrons to dress up as if they were the actors of that movie. "Whatever you think ghetto fabulous is, wear it!" says the other half of Good Company, Stephen Willie. "Appleton May Daze is a fun event, it's whatever you make it. So we thought that this would just be a fun theme to depict, and we are anticipating how best the patrons themselves will interpret it," he said enthusiastically.
Patrons who take up the challenge will not be disappointed, as they will have the opportunity to win an exciting prize, which the promoters were a bit tight-lipped about. Let's just say rumour has it that something special from Appleton Temptation Isle might be making the deal a little sweeter.
As always, ladies enter free before 11 p.m. and Appleton Jamaica Rum, Taboo Energy and Mandingo have stocked the bars with two-for-one mix specials all night, all adding to what promoters promise will be an unforgettable night of fun, frolic and fantasy.
