As the saying goes, “Everything is bigger in Texas” and we certainly can’t argue with that! The Houston Parrot Head Club (a Jimmy Buffet fan club) recently held their 2nd Annual Mud Bug Ball, which was actually a crawfish festival (a ‘Texan’ thing). This year, the Mud Bug Ball was a benefit to raise funds for Radio Lollipop at Texas Children’s Hospital and it turned out to be their biggest fund raising event ever! Through a silent auction of Jimmy Buffet and Houston Texan (our new NFL football team) memorabilia, plus a lot of other interesting items and several raffles, the Houston Parrot Head Club raised over $6,000 for us!

The Houston Parrot Head Club has been one of our most loyal supporters since we went on the air four years ago, but they have never have had the opportunity to come by the studio and visit with us. So to show our appreciation and to give them a great big Texas “Thank You!” we invited their Board Members and “Parrot Ed” to come by and spend some time with us at Radio Lollipop. Valerie Vibes, one of our Presenters on Thrilling Thursday, welcomed them by playing some of our favorite Jimmy Buffet songs, including “Fins”. As you can see, and in true Jimmy Buffet fashion, a good time was had by all!
