This past weekend, Powerplay DJ had the great opportunity to DJ the 6th annual Freaky Fright Night which was put on by the Fargo Park District. This was a great event for families to come out and have a good time in a fun and safe environment. There were many different costumes to be seen, including Buzz Lightyear, Snow White, and Transformers. Besides dancing, kids could make crafts, eat all sorts of food and candy, drink dragon snot punch, and if they were brave enough, enter the haunted house! One of the most interesting parts of the night was when Larry the magician took the stage. He wowed kids and parents with his juggling acts which included: machetes, balls, bowling pins, plastic bags, and rings. Larry also made a handful of balloon animals for lucky guests of the audience. This was a great event that the Fargo Park District put on, and we feel honored that we were asked to provide the entertainment again this year.

This last weekend, Powerplay DJ got the chance to play at one of the newest venues in the Fargo/Moorhead area, Rustic Oaks! Rustic Oaks is located 10 miles South of Moorhead on Highway 75, and lies right on the Red River. This was just the second wedding to be held at Rustic Oaks since it’s opening. The dance was held in the second story of an old barn with a huge deck overlooking the banks of the Red River. The reception and ceremony were held outside amongst the trees and flowers, which were a beautiful backdrop for the wonderful couple, Jenny and Chad. The dance was a blast, and it was exciting to have the opportunity to play at this unique venue!

Powerplay DJ was recently asked to provide services for the annual Midwest Kids Fest held at beautiful Island Park in downtown Fargo. Midwest Kids Fest is an all day event for kids and their families to participate in. We were there providing karaoke entertainment for the guests. After a slow start, the singing picked up and we were busy all day!  The weather cooperated beautifully for the all day event, which is always a blessing in June! It was great to see so many families participate!

Powerplay DJ had the great opportunity to do the Fargo Park District Block Parties again this summer! There were a total of six Block Parties (great family outings) which were held at six of the beautiful parks in Fargo. Each week we were at a different park, and with each week brought nicer weather! Along with great weather, we had some great singers! Kids sang their hearts out to Taylor Swift, Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus, and many other artists. We has a blast working with the Fargo Park District and cannot wait until next summer!

Recently the University of Minnesota – Morris put on a dance with the theme “80’s Prom”.  What a riot!  We played lots of hits from the 80’s of course, including hit tunes from Poison, Guns ‘N’ Roses, Bon Jovi, Paula Abdul, and of course Michael Jackson. It was fun to go back in time for a night and the students definitely dressed the part.  The dance was put on by the Theater/Arts group at UMM, and quite a few of the students dressed up as cliche high schoolers (cheerleader, jock, nerd, etc.). They even crowned a prom king and queen!  This dance was a lot of fun to DJ!  Thanks for booking Powerplay DJ for this fun event.
