BCC Halloween Blackout Bash
very very scary...b-ville- we always have come to expect the unexpected at Bernardsville Country Club, but after days of preparation on the “BCC Halloween Bash”, and with rain threatening to spoil our planned outdoor activities, on saturday, october 31 2009, 5pm eastern standard time, the power went out! BCC members and guests began arriving around sundown. arriving at the “BCC Clubhouse”, high in the hills of bernardsville, a clubhouse lit only by a roaring fireplace and candles. guests having to be told it wasn’t just a scary look we were going for. we had music though, with power coming from a car, thanks to capt. sperry. and the party continued, another example of the resiliency of the club and it’s member’s. party on!at about 9:15pm, with all the costumed revealers in attendance and the event, in the dark and in full swing, people drinking, eating the pot luck foods brought by all, a flash photo was taken and suddenly, the power snapped back on. “yea!”, said the party. “oh my.”, said a slightly tipsy BCC groundskeeper, realizing he now had a lot to do. yes! the P.T.PuppetShow! yes, ladies and gentlemen, all the regulars, “PT & Dino”, the “Magic Shoe”, “PT on the high wire”, “Project Genesis”, “rocky, the smoking raccoon”, “Simpsinatra”, plus a new act from germany, the “Dirty Dowels”, singing that old favorite,”Rawhide”. you just had to be there.next was the “BCC Scavenger Hunt”. although the ground was wet, the rain had stopped. teams were formed, maps and a list of tasks to be performed were handed out. and off they went, out into the dark, again. the “hunt” lead them to the “BCC Alter”, the “Bounty”, the BCC dart room, the “Elvis Room” disco, a creepy hole in the ground and finally to the “BCC Haunted Barn”. the winner was once again the team lead by dr. mark, the only straight person in the competition.the party finally moved up to the “BCC Clubhouse”, there they heard a set of music by the “Frozen Monkey Band”, while they partied the night away. what a great time. and it didn’t end. some members slept over, another fire was started, football was watched, food was eaten, golf was played, more fun was had. one of the best halloween bashes ever. the Bernardsville Country Club thanks it’s members and guests for making it the great party it was.
