Saturday, May 9th Daily Specials
Tonight is a first in Halfway House history… after 54 years, we are officially hosting our very first prom! The Quilcene Rangers are taking over the restaurant for one unforgettable Casino Royale night, and honestly… we’re pretty sure this place has never looked fancier.
Huge shoutout to our incredible staff for pulling this all together. The dance floor is ready, the DJ has arrived all the way from Cle Elum and is ready to rock the house (she’s also one of the top entertainers at ShrimpFest, so you might even see a guitar and hear some real singing so grab your dates during the slow songs), Katrina and the baking crew are putting together 500 fresh-baked cupcakes for the dessert table, and yes… there will absolutely be a chocolate fountain. Because apparently prom now requires more chocolate than W***y Wonka’s factory.
We’re excited to try something completely different tonight. Usually, Saturday nights around here involve Prime Rib, Seahawks talk, and somebody asking for extra ranch. Tonight it’s tuxes, dresses, mocktails, and teenagers pretending they don’t see their parents taking pictures.
Just a reminder that the Prom Committee arrives at 2 PM to decorate, so we’ll be closing at 2 PM today. Prime Rib Night is moving to Mother’s Day because let’s be honest… moms deserve Prime Rib. They are prime.
And one final prom joke before the big dance:
Why was the skeleton alone at prom?
Because he had no body to go with!
