Event Postscript

For those of you who came out this night, Scottie was disappointed that the night got cut short when an otherwise calm evening turned into civil alarm sirens going off, lightning, rain, and wind, and weather warnings of severe storms coming in requiring the Hideaway, in the interest of customer safety, to shut down just before 9:00 PM. We know this cut the evening short for you who were waiting to get a visit with Scottie.  

To make it up to you, please come back out on August 11 for the "I Love the 90's" spectacular.  Let Scottie know you were there on the July 14 and missed a visit with him due to the evening being cut short, and Scottie with give you priority as he makes his rounds.  


Event Update
The following event was originally posted as the 80's Luau and
