It was almost dark when preparations were complete for the night and there were some anticipating Edmarker around waiting to see it start off.  Most were just anxioius to see what there is going to be on the agenda.   (T.I.A) This Is Africa…. as it is not part of the culture of Ghanaians to celebrate Halloween annually; the marketing staff;  Edmark Accra did bring into the scene a “Masquerade  Party”. You can also call it a “dress up” party.  

The very first early bird;  Richard Kwame  who dressed like Ghana’s popular comedian ‘Bob Okala’.  It got dark already at about 7pm when most Edmarkers were changing up and making-up in their funniest, weirdest dresses.    Now party starts,  Ms.  Penny Agbevenu (DM) gave her Welcome Remarks  as you will notice her excitement about this party and also mentioned that Edmark makes all the Ghanaian happy for we have a lot of surprises and events happening   and of course she did invite and encourage all  Edmarker  to really join the  LTBC and to sign up ….
As the house got full we started off with an outstanding dance steps from the famous Micheal Jackson’s track “Thriller” that captivated ‘all and sundry’ to join on the floor following the dance steps and then the parade of custumes.  You sure can not tell who were behind the dresses and masks.  The marketing staff were all well dressed, Ms. Michelle dela Cruz (the cute vampire), Marvin (sophisticated lady), Lawal (Indigenous Indian), Anas (Contemporary Taliban) and Yusif (pregnant man).  Next on programme was the game “mummy wrapping”; the first game was so interesting, fun to watch whiles the participants were turning and twisting like crazy to finish up perfectly even as in their wildest costumes.  There was a winner with a perfect wrap and prize was awarded. The second game was “apple eating” with four pair of contestants; male and female aggressively biting the apples. Prize was awarded to the winner instantly.

Now  a surprise guest from the outside “ The Acrobatic Show ”  were most Ghanaian are shocked of the performance and talent showed by them…we can’t really explain the excitement just see all the action from  picture taken,  were CM Zeny Tulio invited to dance with them,  not knowing that the acrobatic will lift her up and participated the Acrobatic Show. REALLY WOW!! SUPER OUTSTANDING!!

The best costume dress up was awarded after a very brief contest of costumes.  It was co-incidentally the early bird with “Bob Okala’s” dress up.  It was an open dance floor after then, with drinking and some bites for all to enjoy. The programme ended successfully and some were around mingling and socializing.

We would like to give our gratitude to our Leaders  who went there to support the event,  CM John Lawer, DCM Redeemer Demordzie, DM Mohammed Abubakar,  Newly CM Ramatu Issahaku (oh Yes!) DM Penny Agbevenu (our lovely Host) and CM John Addo. It is truly fun to be a part of the Edmark family.
