Walk Of Fame
Jimmy Buffett received his star on the prestigious Mohegan Sun Walk of Fame on August 30th. Jimmy Buffett’s first show at Mohegan Sun Arena was in June of 2005 and has since become a summer favorite on the Mohegan Sun concert calendar. “Jimmy Buffett’s concerts at Mohegan Sun have provided a highlight in our summer concert season for the past two years,” said Paul Munick, Senior Vice-President of Sports and Entertainment at Mohegan Sun. “We are thrilled to be hosting this one-of-a-kind event again. Bring on the Parrot Heads!”

And speaking of Mohegan Sun….Refrigerators across the Northeast can now breathe a sigh of relief, as New Englanders look forward to their cure for cabin fever - the arrival of a two-story Margaritaville restaurant in Connecticut. Partnering with Mohegan Sun's Project Horizon, the over 16,000 square foot restaurant - complete with 8-foot blender and outdoor decks overlooking the Thames River - is set to open in the spring of 2008. The perfect place for boat drinks when it's 20 degrees...

Jimmy Buffett made his Hong Kong debut with an intimate one night only charity concert on January 18 at the Sport’s Hall of Hong Kong Football Club.
The concert will benefit the Foreign Correspondents’ Club Language Training Centre that teaches English and Mandarin to 300 children aged 2 to 18 who are in residential care at the Po Leung Kuk Orphanage.

The FCC and Po Leung Kuk first set up a Language Training Program in 2004 and through this have been offering after-school English and Putonghua lessons as well as English storytelling sessions to children under the Kuk’s residential care. The program aims to strengthen the language proficiency of these children to enhance their communication skills and facilitate them in their pursuit of further studies and career development.

Po Leung Kuk is a renowned charitable organization in Hong Kong with a long history. Founded in 1878 as a temporary refuge for victims of abduction cases, the Kuk has now developed into a dynamic and diversified social service organization. It now operates over 200 units offering residential and day care for children, rehabilitation of the mentally handicapped, care for the elderly, as well as education of the young. The setting up of a second language centre will mark a major milestone in the Po Leung Kuk's efforts to help the less fortunate.

Margaritaville Opens in Glendale, AZ.
Plans call for the Westgate City Center to become one of the largest visitor destinations in the Southwest, expected to attract up to 26 million people a year. It has been called the crown jewel of new sports venue complexes, the most exciting "urban, mixed use vision" of the new century. Westgate also features dining, entertainment and hotels along with modern and sophisticated business offices and residential options.

Margaritaville is a two-story 20,000-square-foot restaurant with three bars, patio seating and a balcony overlooking Westgate’s showplace water fountain. At 5PM daily the WaterDance fountain erupts in waterworks choreographed to Jimmy Buffett songs.

The interior design is the comfortably Caribbean, down island décor that has become synonymous with Margaritaville Cafes. Maps on the ceiling and fishing boats in the dining room add to the humor and flair found in this desert oasis. Colorful and comical performers parade around the main room and patio creating balloon art for kids and adults alike.
