A "Purposeful" Party

It was no place for the faint of heart or anyone reluctant to party hearty. Who would have thought that staid olde Windsor, CT would be the scene of a massive 4 day party of wild Trop Rock phans?
Only about 500 souls, suffering from the great Northeast's frigid winter induced 'cabin fever', that's who.
From February 24th to the 27th, the Marriott in Windsor hosted this huge phlock of Parrot Heads. They caroused, drank, ate, stayed up all night, and spent their money to further the causes of several charities. After all, it's mainly about helping your fellow man if you're a true Parrot Head. That's why the organization's motto is "party with a purpose". There's no rules saying Parrot Heads can't have a wild time while raising funds for local and national causes, so they do. In fact, they do on a tremendous scale.
It can be described, but not in a forum such as this. It takes participation in the Parrot Head nation known as Parrot Heads in Paradise, Inc. and one of the affiliated clubs in your local area, to get the full impact of how much can be done and the amount of phun to be had.
Raising funds and having a great time doing it were the main thrust of the 4 day party in Windsor. However, to put perspective on this convention and differentiate it from any other you may be familiar with, think about this. The main business conducted here was to plan the next several New England Parrot Head Conventions. It becomes a party to plan the next party! Cool!
Party on Parrot Heads!
