The days are growing longer, the sun will not sink from the heavens. It will
continue to climb as it has for eons, warming the beaches of Utah and
Ireland.[1] Yes, folks, the time has come once again for the annual
Fat Chance Garage and Brewery Beach Party!
Due to some expected silliness in and about Salt Lake during February, the
traditional date for the Beach Party will not be observed. There might be
some other stuff going on the weekend before President's Day. So, lads
and lassies, mark your calendars for Saturday, March 16th, the eve of
St. Patrick's Day. Start your day with the annual Saint Patrick's parade,
either as a spectator or motoring along the route in your British car with
the British Motor Club of Utah. No quips on political irony, please.
After the parade, dust off your Kelly green bikini or your shamrock print
Speedo, and head on down to 739 Park Street in Salt Lake City [540 East,
739 South] around 7 pm for the Beach Party.[2] Bring along a potluck dish
if you're so inclined, perhaps a wee dram of your choice. There should be
a taste of some hand crafted barley beverages, perhaps some sodas for the
youngsters, and fun for all. We may be blessed with some live music, though
I fear the Chieftains will be booked that weekend.
Plan to attend, it should be a raucous good time, though I doubt that
the O'Sama clan of County Kabul will drop in.[3] And as usual, a small
prize or two for the most festive attire. See you soon!
