Despite the terrible news about swine flu we will still have a cinco de mayo mexican celebration theme to show our support for all of our pals in Mexico who will not be able to join in the celebrations, and for all the other countries who have since been troubled by this horrible virus.
Dress Code
Which means we will all need sombreros, feathers ,flowers and all girlies please remember all dresses must be frilly. The gorgeous @emmythecat will be doing another paws wall and some competitions so make sure you have your pawty outfits on have updated your twitter profile picture and have responded to the twtvite invitation so emmy can get your pretty picture.
Venue
We have managed to book an exclusive new virtual location for our fiesta, its a Critter Ranch where all anipals are welcome. There is a huge outdoor arena with space for a little Mexican Rodeo fun. The hot tubs are outside as well next to the swimming pool so you can take a well earned break from dancing. Speaking of dancing we will be having a salsa dancing competition which will be held in the big red barn. Inside there are three bars two of them will have great sounds playing from some of our well known DJ's, I think there will be some cat scratch poles in one of the bars. The third bar is a relaxing chill out room with huge sofas to lounge on and tasty nibbles to tickle your taste buds.
Eats
Oh yes and there will be a 24 hour banquet in the Green Barn serving all of your favourite pawty treats, tuna tacos, beef burritos, honey tortillas, carrot chimichangas, cheerio enchiladas and lots of hot hot hot sauce if that is what you. If you want to bring a party platter along to share with your anipals just drop it on the banqueting tables in the Green Barn.
Tequila, kahlua Corona and Sol Beer will be the order of the day, as well as all of the usual niptinis and barkeritas.
