This Week in Chester
Tomorrow night, Thursday, is the final wing night at the Rope Loft. Eat up !
Definition of Wing Night: A ceremonial and sacred evening during which many wings will be eaten by a gathering of gluttonous friends. Each step of the consumption of the wings is carefully orchestrated and held holy. Deviation from tradition i.e.. inviting your girlfriend, not eating till breathing is difficult, leaving early, not toasting your first wing,ordering non-wing food or de-winging during the repast is strictly forbidden. The only consumables other than wings allowed at the table are blue cheese dressing and beer-lots of it.
Friday night "Hog the Covers" will be playing at the Chester Legion for everyone 19 years and older starting at 9 pm.
Saturday night the Fo'c'sle Pub is hosting their annual Halloween Party and costume contest with the "George Carter Trio" on stage.The festivities get underway at 9 pm and there is a prize for the best costume. Please Bob, please dress up as Colonel Sanders again !
This Sunday is the final roundup at the Rope Loft. Take the missus down there for their season's end brunch buffet for the bargain basement price of $15.95. All sorts of goodies to soak up the activities from the night before. Maybe a hair of the dog caesar to get the day off on the right foot. Maybe three just to ensure it !
