Groovy Lake Barcroft Newcomers 70's (with some 60's) Barge Party 2013

Our community never ceases to offer the most wonderful social events to its residents year after year. This year, our annual Barge Party took place at the home of Trippi and Tom Penland, and it was a winner. The theme was the 70's, with a bit of 60's mixed in, and it was interpreted in more ways than you can imagine.

Arriving....Former Newcomer's Club President, Miranda (right) with friend Beverly.

Ready to party, Newcomer's President Nomi with Marilyn, Betsy, and Kevin Howe, always prepared.

Here's the groovy flower power girl, Olivia, decked out in the era's finest, flanked by sisters Louise (left) and Sarah:

Why did this couple's 70's not include disco or remnants of 60's flower power? I think they got a bit mixed up. The theme was the NINETEEN 70's! But the invitation wasn't specific, true, so here's Seth and Diane, celebrating the 1770's!

Party hosts, Trippi and Tom.

Partygoers appeared in leisure suits, headbands, amazing wide collars, peace medallions, flowered shirts, earth mother dresses, caftans, tie-die, John Lennon glasses, and you name it. Didn't see any John Travolta look alikes however.

 Colorful paisley, tie-dye, and African prints on the girls.

Ok, there were some wild ideas of 70's fashion.  Love the gold velour track suit!

"Peace, Brother"....Missy and Jeff

This was quite a collar on leisure suited Mike.

The party began with cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and barge trips, and our beautiful lake as the background was as magical as ever.

Then there was the food...announced by Captain Matt, the human megaphone. 

Wow, gorgeous, and delicious food.

With tiki torches, too! Nice touch.

Nightfall, and the party began in earnest with drinking, music and dancing. All had great fun.
