The Quad City Parrotheads are planning another night of fun on May 18, 2019. Non-members are welcomed as well as current members. This would be a great way to spend an evening, help the club raise funds for the George and Tina Lang Foundation for a food pantry supporting local families and get to know the Parrothead motto, Party with a Purpose. The doors at Knights of Columbus in Davenport open at 6:30 with the Trivia Challenge beginning at 7:00 PM. First prize table wins $160.00, second place wins $80.00, 3rd place surprise gift certificates. Round up friends and fill a table of eight; bring your own snacks and leave your cooler at home because cash bar will be tended by the Knights of Columbus staff. Call or text Mike or Kathy Koester to save your table. Only $10.00 per person is a thrifty evening and only $1 per round.
Happy Memorial Day
$7.00 Taco Bar!

“Margaritaville” is coming back to Wisconsin.
Jimmy Buffett is bringing his Coral Reefer Band back to Alpine Valley Music Theatre July 20 for the first time since 2016.
A perennial at Alpine for years, Buffett bypassed the East Troy amphitheater the past two summers to instead play Wrigley Field in Chicago.
His absence in 2017 contributed to Alpine’s first full-season closure in its 40-year history, after operator Live Nation was unable to secure any acts that summer.
Alpine reopened in 2018, hosting five shows with Dead & Company, the Zac Brown Band and Brad Paisley. The outdoor amphitheater also will host Hootie & the Blowfish Aug. 23 as part of the band’s comeback tour after a 10-year hiatus.
