From Krewes Kare:

 

Saturday, May 3, 2008 - Krewes Kare presents The 3rd Annual "World's Largest Hurricane Expo & Party!"  2:00PM - 9:00PM  See the flyer at http://www.kreweskare.org/2008expo/2008KKeventflyerx.pdf

 

For 2008, the preliminary forecast calls for a total of 13 named storms in the Atlantic with 7 of those being major hurricanes. It also says it is probable that at least one major hurricane will hit the U.S. coastline.  Thinking back on how we scrambled to help folks stricken by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, as krewe members, we never want to have to do that scramble again.  THIS is why Krewes Kare was formed and why every member of every IKC Member Krewe is represented by Krewes Kare, and why it's important that you get involved.  The "World's Largest Hurricane Expo & Party" is a really fun way to make sure we're prepared to help our neighbors in the event the forecasts are on target this year.

 

This year's event will be all new - held at Zendah Grotto, 4402 North West Ohio Avenue, in Tampa, behind the Tampa HCC Campus
Your $25.00 tax-deductible donation ($10 for kids 11-17; free for kids 10 and under) includes free food, beer, soft drinks, entertainment, a full bar, and info & product vendors and music inside (a/c yay!) by Johnny G Lyon, The Moneypenny Band, and The Third Band (plus surprise musical guests!). Outside: BBQ, games, the infamous dunk tank, and an all-krewe Chili Cook-off. The fun just keeps getting bigger and better!   Plus, it's a fun day for your whole family for a great cause!  More details about the event are on our web site www.kreweskare.org
