The joint was jumpin’ inside and out at the Key Largo Casino On Friday evening, the Key Largo Casino and various other Eagle Beach enterprises joined to
conduct the second annual Eagle Beach Carnaval Jump-in. This year’s participation of the newest casino on the island gave the added spice of excellent prizes from the Casino’s raffle drawings, such as a weekend stay at La Cabana Villas, and awards of $5 or $10 for anyone wearing a Key Largo Carnival shirt. It was a joyous and involving experience for any island visitor fortunate to join in and learn how
to do the island dances from young Quincy Hasham, better known as “Big Q” and the members of his Master Band. Quincy may be young, but he is a master entertainer with a wonderful voice and Carnaval music is infectious, so soon everyone had their “hands in their air” and were moving their hips to beat. Helping Quincy to teach newcomers the Carnaval steps was “Mr. Carnaval” himself, Yubi Naar,
who hosts the Bon Bini Festivals in Oranjestad on Tuesday evenings. Delia and Glenda of the Key Largo Casino acted as hostesses for the evening, and joined the casino’s Carnaval King and Queen, Ludwig and Olga, on the dance floor of the casino to also move to the beat. When they weren’t dancing, they were drawing winners names from the barrel. There were lots of winners on Friday night, inside and out, and not only at the tables, as those
attending enjoyed a great carnaval experience and took home some terrific prizes such as gift certificates for jewelry, fine perfumes and more. If dancing made them too hungry or thirsty, they enjoyed a great choice of late night dining from the Blue Marlin Restaurant menu. Peg Morris and her husband Paul, owners at the Paradise Beach Villas, ended their six-week stay
in Aruba by attending the Eagle Beach Jump-in, and left with bags of prizes from the raffle. As Peg came up to claim the big prize, the weekend stay, she exclaimed, with good reason: “I LOVE this casino!!” Not only Peggy and Paul, but also all that attended were feeling and sharing the love and carnaval
spirit on Friday night!
