The 7th Annual National Walk the Plank Championships are now on Saturday. An all-hands Pirate's Ball is tentatively scheduled for Saturday night.

hurricane Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 Was on the phone with the rest of the planners. Lots of great things on the horizon after getting our feet wet in the new location. Can't wait to share some of the plans once they are firmed up. Right now, I have to finish the marketing plan for the darned thing. -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

William Brand Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 1st annual Boucan Cookoff Niiice. I look forward to that addition.
Commodore Swab Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 How about that idea we talked about last weekend?
hurricane Posted May 20, 2011 Author Posted May 20, 2011 I have shared it with the committee Commodore and it's on the list. There's just a few other things on the more immediate plans to handle (grants and such). Looks like we may be adding a weeklong music festival at night. The Bad Ass Pirate and Buxom Wench will be on-site this year as part of a Pirate's Ball. I personally am looking forward to movie night. We'll be showing Crimson Pirate on the wall of the building there and Reap the Wild Wind before it. I hope to do Crimson in a Rocky Horror format. -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

D B Couper Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I hope to do Crimson in a Rocky Horror format. Perhaps you could hold the Walk the Plank contest in conjunction with the Time Warp. D.B. Couper

hurricane Posted July 3, 2011 Author Posted July 3, 2011 The festival schedule has been completely updated. For those of you who come to town early or want to attend all the other events, some of the key events have been shifted to accommodate the 11 day festival. The El Meson Caribbean Pirate's Buffett will be Tuesday, Nov. 29. The Buxom Wench and Bad Ass Pirate contest will be Wednesday, following the End of Hurricane season flag burning. It will be held at the Pirate Pub at the Truman Waterfront, not Schooner Bar (this is new). The Shoot & Sail has been moved to Thursday for everyone who wants to compete on open water with life rounds and period weapons. A good chance to check your accuracy aboard a heaving deck. The Walk the Plank Championship will be on Saturday again, Dec. 3 with the Tall Tales Competition directly after. New to the Sea Chantey Festival this year will be Best Original Song. We're looking for chantymen and musicians who will pen and original song for the festival. This should capture the essence of the Pirates in Paradise Maritime Heritage Festival & Music Festival. Draw your inspiration from any and all events. We will be having the competition for best song at 11 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 4.

hurricane Posted July 26, 2011 Author Posted July 26, 2011 Some additions to the festival plans: For those wishing to come down early, there will be the opportunity to do vending at the Pirates in Paradise Truman Annex location from Thanksgiving until the day the fort festival opens. Set up would be 11/23 and tear down would be Thursday 12/1. The fee is $225 if commercial items, $50 less is hand crafted. With the addition of the carnival this year and live concerts each night (working on Bo Bice and The Wailers among others), the traffic should be fairly good this year. There is another new contest: Picture Pirates in Paradise... rules to follow on that one, but the winner's photos will be featured on the home page (and perhaps other pages of the Pirates in Paradise, be used for media photos worldwide and perhaps be on one of the posters for 2012 (depends on reproduction requirements of the image), complete with your PHOTO BY ____________ Winner for the 2011 Picture Pirates in Paradise Contest. We're also thinking of adding a festival songwriting contest for best theme song that captures Pirates in Paradise. Still working on that one. More coming... so much coming this year it's hard to keep track of it all. -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.
