Halloween 2009

The owner of Doolittle's Restaurant and Bar hosted a Halloween Party this year. The event was held as a fund-raiser for a St. Lucia children's charity. Attendees purchased raffle tickets during the dinner hour, and a drawing was held afterwards. There was even a best-costume competition (won by a very shapely young woman in a Cat-Woman outfit). Kathy's "flapper" costume was a real contender, too! The evening was rounded off by a fireworks display, followed by dancing until midnight.

This is not a commonly celebrated holiday in St. Lucia, and the typical decorations are not readily available. So Kathy Walker, Lisa Meuche, and Susan brought all sorts of things back from their various trips to the USA. They then volunteered to help decorate the restaurant for this event. As it turned out, nearly all of the decorations, and most of the labor was donated by our three cruiser-ladies. They worked hard through the day, then returned to their respective boats to clean up, don their costumes, and then partied all evening.

These pictures are courtesy of David and Lisa Meuche - who for some odd reason chose not to include pics of themselves in costume! David was dressed as a "Nudist on Strike" - you can use your own imagination to picture his outfit.

Our local British friend Susie came up with a very original costume idea. She was "A Cereal Killer", with small cereal boxes stapled to a T-shirt, with plastic knives impaled in the boxes.
