Not sure if this beats being in the bush hunting birds, but the members of Driftwood Gun Club were definitely having a good time on Saturday, July 16.

The fun group threw their Summer Party at the rustically chic Medusa Bar & Grill on Hope Road. The event was for a worthy cause, or should we say causes, as the proceeds go to helping Driftwood support its various charities in St Elizabeth communities such as: Blunters and Treasure Beach. To help keep the support going, and to have a good time, the patrons came out in their numbers.

The oyster man was doing well; we assume guests wanted to keep their energy levels up for any 'after' parties. Apart from the 'official' bar, there were also some interesting shots on offer. Appleton, sorrel and oysters was viewed (quite understandably) with a little trepidation, but we're not sure it eclipsed the patron and Scotch bonnet pepper shot. Now that was hot (literally!). Throw in some juicy stuff from the grill and you had no reason to complain.

Moving and grooving

But this party was made for moving and grooving and the DJ ensured no one stood still. Even early guests had a bouncy time with songs like Bruno Mars' Just The Way You Are while the lovers rock and reggae offerings (Beres Hammond anyone?) were also eagerly consumed. Some '80s dance music like Baltimora's Tarzan Boy and current party songs like Party Rock Anthem, really had guests shedding whatever inhibitions they may have had. Toss in a little soca for the 'winers' and you see it was a real music treat.

To wrap it all up, international reggae entertainer Wayne Wonder passed through in the early a.m. hours.
