Orient Cabarets Opening Contest

OK, Hopefully we are getting close. The following is a list of people still in the running to guess the week that the first Cabaret would be open (serving food or drink for $$). I would have never guessed that I would be there for the opening but now it looks like a good chance. In any event the lofty award of $10 at the Perch still stands! Good luck to all (the first person listed "owns the week"):

How do I claim my prize????Will be there on Feb 20

My original plan was to hide the $$ in a hat and have Willey hang it at the Perch but that was when I thought it could be months before the winner could collect. If it is just a few weeks there may be a better way...will advise once we have a winner.

If Madg1108 wins, so do three more of us. The options for spending my part of the Orient Powerball boggle the mind. If we win, I've got you beat, Madg. I am there the 9th.

This may delay openings. https://www.thedailyherald.sx/islands/54...QM6LuQ.facebook

Very well could unless they continue down the list of applicants and find people willing to pay up immediately.

Whoever has today won't win. Nothing going on yesterday there. I sent a couple of pics to Carol showing showers & parking lot. I will learn how to do them before next trip.

I was there first.....and I'm not sharing!!!!LOL !!!!and besides, I'm going to win the Power Ball lottery and buy ALL the new restaurants and give FREE drinks to everyone,YAYYYYY !!!!

No, I am going to win the Power Ball and buy everyone on the island a drink!!

I never buy those tickets, but sure thinking about it this week!

When I win.... I'll buy THE ISLAND !!!!

Went to have a look at the future orange/green fever today, although it looks real nice inside and out there have been no advancements made on the inside (lighting, paint, equipment) all inexistant for the moment. Looks like there is still a ways to go before they open shop. There was a group meeting with the operators and the collectivitee going on so not the right time to ask questions but I'll have a
talk with him later this week to see what his plan is for a new name or colors. The beach had enough room for two rows of chairs by the future orange/green fever and easily three rows for the two future establishments closest to pedros. Hung out at kontiki today and the water levels were quite high. A lot of beach missing compared to previous trips.

Would be interested to hear the outcome of the meeting with the operators and the collectivite'. If you have any info on that, would love to hear it.

The media was there so I would expect to see some info in some of today's papers...Sounded a bit like a pep-talk to un-satisfied business owners but I was not there for the whole thing, so I think it's best to get the info from an official source.

I just posted a link in another thread to the newspaper article.
