It’s time to dust off the VHS of “Sixteen Candles,” “Ferris Bueller's Day Off,” and time to grab neon-colored items for an 80s party at Cape Fear Vineyard & Winery on Feb. 25.

The winery’s Totally Bodacious 80s Glow Party may be the flair to spark anybody’s week. The event has a $10 cover charge that can be pre-purchased on the winery’s website. Guests will be able to purchase their own drinks from the bar using cash or a credit card.

According to Derrick Rice, the winery’s events director, guests can expect to have a great time as they enjoy music from a DJ, and drink specials and refreshments from the 80s.

“The purpose of the Totally Bodacious 80s Glow Party is to bring a pit of nostalgia and fun to those who remember the 80s as the best musical and outrageous fashion era,” Rice said.
He said it is an event for people to let loose and enjoy themselves.

This enjoyment may come from attendees dressing up for the two contests — Best 80s Movies Costume and Best 80s Costume. He explained how the two differ from each other.

“One is for the overall 80s costume and the other is for an 80s movie costume where the guests can depict their version of some popular 80s movie or television characters,” Rice said.

The event would not be an 80s event if dancing was not involved. Attendees can learn the “Thriller” dance while there.

“There will be a professional dance instructor on hand to teach the moves to Michael Jackson's “Thriller” music video,” he said.
