Dozen other families are in the queue waiting their turn to enter. <\/p>\n<p>As early as 10:00 am, &#8216;six pack and pot-bellied&#8217; fathers led their beautiful wives, children in a great dancing competition in what is turning out to be the greatest pre-Christmas bash. <\/p>\n<p>The line-up of activities commenced with \u2018Musical Chairs\u2019 for children which drew families closer to cheer up their wards.<\/p>\n<p>As stated by organisers, the event focuses on the entire family and not only children.<\/p>\n<p>The annual Party in the Park event, organised by Joy FM, brings together families across the length and breadth of the capital for a healthy dose of family fun, good music, food and wide variety of games and activities.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the dancing competition, there was also the \u2018Musical Chairs\u2019 competition for the parents who also did not disappoint. With a rhythmic song, they showed great dancing movement round a pack of well-arranged chairs but with an eye on the prize.<\/p>\n<p>If you are easily distracted, we plead that you never try \u2018Lime and Spoon\u2019 competition at any of the Joy FM Party in the Park events.<\/p>\n<p>Contestants will testify that it takes more than just holding a spoon while walking in a straight line to reach the end point. <\/p>\n<p>Sing-along session <\/p>\n<p>It was time for the best voice and the best performance and the kids had a lot to advertise. Some of the kids effortlessly sang the smash hit singles \u2013 \u2018Angela\u2019 and \u2018Odo\u2019 \u2013 in a way Kwame Eugene and Kidi will feel threatened. If these kids could sing their songs the way they did, then the two should be ready for a great future competition.<\/p>\n<p>Angela Effah proved that she knew the lyrics of \u2018Angela\u2019 perhaps better than the Lynx Entertainment signee.<\/p>\n<p>It was more difficult for judges to select winners of the dancing competition than for any music lover to choose between Kojo Antwi and Daddy Lumba.<\/p>\n<p>These young ones who are not even in their teens danced continuously without pausing to even breathe.<\/p>\n<p>It took the intervention of the judges to stop these children who were charged up to dance till the DJ could no longer stand behind the turntables. <\/p>\n<p>Now the turn of the mothers!<\/p>\n<p>Incredible! These mothers gave Ghanaian artiste, Guru, a good reason to re-shoot his \u2018Samba\u2019 music video because the dance moves exhibited should not go unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p>The fathers could not sit and watch the mothers enjoy the spotlight alone. They joined in with their interestingly \u2018masculine\u2019 moves!<\/p>\n<p>Pop Star, Michael Jackson should have a good laugh after watching some daddies do an &#8216;offbeat&#8217; dance.  <\/p>\n<p>Food Time!<\/p>\n<p>At a point, the aroma of food prepared with Fortune rice and Frytol oil began competing for attention all over at the Legon Botanical Gardens<\/p>\n<p>The Wilmar Africa cooking stand was the place to be! A variety of lip-smacking dishes prepared by contestants were on display.<\/p>\n<p>As expected, a winner could not be selected for the cooking competition too.<\/p>\n<p>Wonderful prizes including gas cookers, rechargeable fans and other products were awarded to winners of the various competition.<\/p>\n<p>The Joy FM Drive Time team made up of Lexis Bill and Edem Knight-Taye could not even last a minute on the dancefloor. Their waists appeared to have been &#8216;taken over&#8217; by Shatta Wale. They could neither bend or shake.<\/p>\n<p>How fast can you empty a bottle of drink?<\/p>\n<p>As the content of these drinks rapidly went down the throats of these children, curtains were raised for the much-awaited eating competition. <\/p>\n<p>Pick &amp; Act<\/p>\n<p>Kwame Budu\u2019s mimicking of Pastor Mensa Otabil\u2019s style of preaching and a young girl\u2019s ability to speak exactly like Ex-president Rawlings when he addressed Alfred Agbesi Woyome\u2019s judgment debt saga were high moments of the \u2018pick and act\u2019 competition.<\/p>\n<p>And when the 9-year-old Noreno, \u2018took over\u2019 the stage with her performance of Shatta Wale\u2019s taking over tune which featured the Militants, the garden was absolutely ecstatic.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the dancefloor was made available for all to show off the dance skills they\u2019ve rehearsed in front of their mirrors in anticipation of this grand moment.<\/p>\n<p>Kids really live in their own world! Blessed with unlimited skills, they got busy on stage showing off some impressive dance skills. They indeed stole the show!<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 44 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Saturday, 23 December 2017 Source: Myjoyonline.com 2017-12-23 Tens of families have already converged at the Gardens and competing with the chirping birds for fun It is \u00a225.00 for a family of six which means at a giveaway price of 4:00 cedis per person, Joy FM is serving the biggest fun party at the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":449663,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-449662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Singing, musical chairs and more fun games at Joy FM family party in the park!
