What is a Parrot Head? What is Fins of the Flatland Parrot Head Club?

Jimmy's interpretation of a Parrot Head is that they are basically pretty normal people with a slight strain of insanity in their makeup. " I'm sure they all have day jobs, and do them willingly, but when Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band come to town, these folks are there. They transform into Parrot Heads and become an essential part of the show. Just looking at the audience, from my point of view, is wonderfully humorous. There's an amazing conglomeration of people ranging in age from 16 to 60, all wearing ridiculous costumes. Parrot Heads come to the show with their own personal Mardi Gras attached to them."

Fins of the Flatland Parrot Head Club is a not for profit organization that will assist and support other not for profit organizations in the community and aid environmental concerns. It will also provide social activities for people interested in the music of Jimmy Buffett and the tropical lifestyle he represents. Basically, an organization that likes to "party with a purpose!"

How was Fins of the Flatland born?

A few friends, Brian & Tammy Saxton and Scott & Michele Arend decided that they enjoyed Jimmy's music & lifestyle so much that they wondered if it would be possible to start a Parrot Head Club.  They knew they had enough friends and family who were also Buffett fans to get one started. Some ideas were thrown around about a name and soon one stuck with them. Then contact was made with the Parrot Heads in Paradise, the national organization that oversees all local Parrot Head Clubs, and soon their chapter was born in June of 2003.
