Captain Morgan creates stir with 300 strong Conga line
Legendary Buccaneer Captain Morgan created a stir across the Emerald Isle when he announced the winner of his latest quest ‘Dare the Captain’ from over 2,000 dare entries on his Island of Ireland Facebook page, before completing the winning dare with a little help from his Facebook fans.
With little over 24 hours notice, Captain Morgan completed an epic dare of rallying his fans to do a Conga line down Dublin’s Grafton Street in rush hour which was suggested by Matthew Adams, winning the young Dublin man a cool £4,000. The Captain managed to encourage over 300 of his Facebook fans to join him as he led an energetic conga line down the famous Dublin street with his entourage of Morganettes who supplied a boom box, whistles, maracas and of course the Captain’s signature red hat.
Captain Morgan commented, “From spending so much time on these shores, I’ve learned that the people here love having ‘the craic’ so there was no shortage of dares to choose from. With little notice, I have to admit I was awestruck by my amazing Facebook fans and their enthusiasm in joining me in an impromptu Conga down one of Dublin’s busiest streets. It truly was an epic experience!”
The Captain had called on his legion of over 100,000 Facebook fans to dare him to do something truly legendary which he agreed to undertake on our shores this month. After intense deliberations, The Captain and his Morganettes agreed that Matthew Adams’ top dare was the deserved winner, winning the lucky darer £4,000!
The competition was really close in the end, with the Captain even filming one of his runner up dares to climb Ireland’s answer to Everest – Carrantuohill in Co. Kerry and plant a Captain Morgan flag on top. A mean feat in itself for a man in full Captain regalia! Two runners up will each receive prizes worth hundreds of pounds from the Captain’s bounty and many others received hoodies for their dare suggestions.
This is only the beginning of the Captain’s adventures on the Emerald Isle this summer. He will be back in the next few months to bring his fans on more epic adventures on an even bigger scale!!
