My Calendar is messed up Mardi Gras Party at the Holiday Inn- DJ, Dancing

Come on out and Join everyone on the dance floor. You don't want to miss the Mardi Gras Party. Pictures from the last Dance at the Holiday Inn with Singles Dances Atlanta Below.

Special Note about this event:

Two extra bartenders added!!!!  We will have stations for beer, wine, soda and stations for mixed drinks.  We heard you and we are responding.  Please remember that admission is cash ($5) only.  As to the bars, cash is way preferred as it speeds up the process.

To speed up check-in, we will start checking people in and giving you name tags, while you are waiting to come in or if there is a line.  That way, once you have your name tags, you can pay your $5 admission fee without stopping.  Once the line is gone (if any) we will go back to the regular check in procedure.

 

Okay,okay, I should have known better than to purchase my 2013 Calendar from the irregular items sales store.  Who knew it would list Fat Tuesday on Saturday, March 2nd?  Well my mistake is your gain.  Since my calendar says that Saturday March 2, is Fat Tuesday, let's celebrate Mardi Gras with another great dance at the Holiday Inn. It will be Bourbon Street in Roswell that night!!!  Besides you never know what those Celebrate Atlanta organizers have up there sleeves (besides hairy arms, that is).  Last time it was roses and chocolate covered strawberries.  Perhaps if you throw me beads, I will promise to keep my clothes on!!

With that distubing picture in your mind, join Celebrate Atlanta as we dance the night away, Mardi Gras Style at the Holiday Inn Roswell. This event is normally $10 but Celebrate-Atlanta members (must be signed up) will be able to get in for 1/2 price ($5).

GREAT Dance Music from the 70's - 2011 and perhaps some 60's?????

Better and/or more bartenders

Hungry?  We have arranged for delivery from Peachtree Diner directly to you at the Holiday Inn Ballroom.

    I was very impressed by the vast improvement in service. Shawn and the holiday inn did a great job. Some may say it was because the crowd was smaller than valentines, however, between Celebrate and Jeff's crowd, we had around 300. That is still a large crowd but the drink lines were kept small. Thanks to Susan and Nina for running the event. We decided to try to move the check-in along by giving members a name-tag and checking them in while they waited in line for the doors to open. I think that worked well. I also want to thank the Peachtree Diner for delivering food for members. I really needed the calories. On Sunday morning my son came in and said, "I thought I was having a nightmare that you had an elephant in your bed but then I realized, it was just you in he dad." Finally, thanks to Jeff for another good night as our DJ and host.

    On the Singles Dance Web Site, there will be over 600 individual visitors (Since Feb 15th) who have looked up information about Saturday's dance which is a high number Plus we will have SDA Singles Dancers showing up which are not reflected on the Celebrate Atlanta Invitation.

    We will have another big turnout!

  • Kris

    Is there a limit on how many people I can invite? Is the party just for us or can anyone come?

    February 22

    • Dave

      With regard to Celebrate Atlanta, and the discount members receive for entry, you as a member are limited to 99 guests. Thus if you are a polygamist and have over 100 wives, you can bring 99 of them and they get in for half price (if they are listed as your guests) but the rest would have to pay full price. That is the long winded version of saying that I have this event set to a limit of 99 guests per member.
