Hoosiers in Paradise

11/06/2024

Hoo Hoo Hoosiers.... it's been many many months since we've wrote anything and we're going to try and get caught up here. First thing is.. our annual Turkey Feast that we had at our home will be cancelled this year. As many of you already know, Jacquie is a manager of Margaritaville and has to work there this Thanksgiving. We regret this because we were hoping to see some of you guys but as I said... it's not going to happen this year.

We miss each and every one of you and stay tuned to this page as we got some exciting things coming up.

Cheers,

Mark and Jacquie

I wanted to give a shout out to Mike Yost He was sent home to heaven today. His two best friends Mitch and Dwayne were there to greet him. Mike was a big part of Hoosiers in Paradise , always there for Shrimp Fest, Fourth of July , New Years Eve and his amazing Haunted Pub Crawls. You were a huge part of FMB. God Bless and soar our friend.

DON'T FORGET>>>> it's "Staff Benefit Day/Night" at BUCKETS WINGS and MORE. You can find BUCKETS at 6301 South Pointe Blvd in Ft. Myers. Feel free to call me for directions if you need. 317.506.7874
The event starts at 2pm and goes till 8pm and includes a 50-50 raffle all day. We will also be auctioning off authentic PACER goods donated by Alex Cass from the Carousel Beach Inn (which has been totally destroyed). The clothing items are all x-lg but will fit just about everyone. This auction will be at 7pm and we are hoping our friend DJ Mike, will be the auctioneer.
This is a big day for our staff and they will all be there including; Brian (aka BB), Dave, Cookie, Blake and let's not forget Raylon, BUCKETS donates 10% of the days receipts to our "gang" and we hope to have lots of fun.
We will have HOOSIERS can and bottle coozies for sale and if you'd like to make a private donation, let me know and we DO take credit cards and I'll have it set up and ready to take your info on Monday.
On a personal note... Jacquie and I spent some time on the beach yesterday and all I can say is.... OH MY GOD! There is no one word to describe the devastation. Hard to believe that more weren't killed but thank our heavenly stars that they weren't. Cookie has a story to tell that should be a "made for TV" special.
I'd like to thank EVERYONE involved from the National Guard to the local First Responders from other areas to the Power and Light people to Dan Allers for putting together Buttonwood. THANK YOU ALL!!
OK>>> so let's have some fun and enjoy each others company.
See y'all soon.

HOOSIERS/BUCKETS/SATURDAY.... Good news. Some of our people can't make it later so we are going to do the event from 2p till 8p. We're hoping that DJ Mike Yost will be there at 7 as we auction off the Authentic Pacer Merchandise so graciously donated by Alex Cass (who btw, lost everything on the beach). Alex is GM of a local hotel here on the beach that was also destroyed but yet, he finds it in himself to donate this beautiful Pacer merchandise. The Pacer merchandise will be auctioned off to the highest bidder at 7pm and it is all X-lg clothing. It is a packaged deal and all of the items will be auctioned off as one deal.
SO>>> bottom line is, the event is Saturday the 5th of November (tomorrow) from 2p till 8p at Buckets Wings and More. Their address is 6301 South Pointe Blvd, Fort Myers, FL 33919. You can call my cell (317.506.7874) if you need directions.
This special event hosted by BUCKETS is a fantastic way for us to see y'all again and for our "gang" to make a few bucks as BUCKETS donates 10% of the days receipts to our "gang". WOW!!
Many of you have asked.... YES>>> we are having Thanksgiving at our house on Thursday. Jacquie is doing the bird (s) and our wonderful friend Angela is doing most of the sides. Bring your own beverage.
That is all for now and we'll see most of you tomorrow at 2pm.
Cheers,
Mark and Jacquie
