BGHS Graduation PartyOn May 31, I was right in the middle of a high school graduation party! Now, if you want to see everything that is possible, then try a graduation party.
The party was in honor of three young men from the Bowling Green area, but there were most likely more than 60 other graduates in attendance, and they were ready to get the party on. The parents of the three graduates were gems. It almost felt like I was a guest at this graduation party (You know, the one tied to the DJ stand!). There was all the food and drink that one could handle, and when I say food, I mean serious food. This is probably a good time for me to make a confession…I love wedding food, and this was food from one (if not THE) of the best places in town…Cambridge Market and Cafe. For years, I have been going to Cambridge, where the owner, Mike Hughes, has put together one of the best places to eat in the history of Bowling Green. I mean this guy knows how to put out a spread, and lucky for all of us, his son was one of the three graduates I mentioned earlier. Though I realize this is not a food column, I strongly recommend you try Cambridge Market if you have not done so before. You are in for a treat.
So, getting through another of my many tangents…the dancing was was of the best times I have ever had at an event. For the first three hours, it was as I wasn’t even there (except for the great music in the background…okay, a blatant pat on the back!). Once it got a little dark (Nobody likes to dance in the light), everyone started dancing. The crazy thing was that all the graduates wanted to hear was old Motown and R&B music! Anything from Marvin Gaye to Wilson Pickett to the Disco sounds of KC & the Sunshine Band…these kids seemed to love everything I played. And they kept on asking for more and more. Now that’s what I call a great gig!
To sum it up…there was food and drink and music, and we all had a great time. Congratulations 2008 graduates!! Go on to college (or wherever you may go), and make us proud. We are so blessed to have such a great generation of kids these days and I look forward to growing older with these young people changing the world!!!
