A Par-tay There WILL Be!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, USA!
I wish all a joyous and safe Fourth.
We're all geared up for our Fourth Of July fling. Actually, it started as a small project but the bosses escalated the thing. Well, it's their money!
We'll be entertaining about 70 invited guests here at the place...food, a real 22-piece brass band playing patriotic music and other tunes. There'll be booze, swimming, tennis and badminton (whatever happened to GOODminton?), and a few carefully managed pyrotechnics.
We'll feed and "water" the band as well, and we're hosting some of their families and dates too so that the band members can be with loved ones for the Fourth. That brings the body count to over a hundred and twenty, believe it or not.
A limo has been retained to bring six(?) wounded and recovering soldiers from the post and take them back circa 2AM...that's the best part of all!
All food and stuff will be catered, 'cept for some special seafoodish items we'll prepare here.
NOTE: I am NOT paying for any of this. Ash(leigh) and I are playing hostess and providing the venue. The bosses are footing the bill.
Fun item: In the early PM, we are having TONS of ice blocks placed in the shaded Koi pond (The Koi are being farmed out to a friend's pond.) We're going to float a bunch of watermelons in the cold water...saves space and mess. Barry T. Eunuch's idea, BTW. A adjoining neighbor's horses (3) will get the rinds...they love them.
The final touch is a HUGE Stars and Stripes that'll be raised, with the band playing "The SSB", at the start of the fun (7 PM), with floodlights illuminating the Flag all night.
There will be three CLEAN Porta-Potties discreetly spotted about the premises. The pool cabana has a changing room, toilet, sink, and shower too. This way we won't have folks wandering in and out of BG's "big house" or our little nest.
NO Karaoke!
Thank God for the country life...plenty of parking!
I'll be one tired bunny come dawn on the 5th!
Have a joyous Fourth!
