Bengkel's first anniversary

Bengkel's first anniversary

JAKARTA (JP): Bengkel Nightpark, one of the city's main
entertainment centers, celebrated its first anniversary with
modest but appealing events from July 3 through July 5.

The main attractions for the 2,000 guests were street shows by
a performing monkey and blazing fire acts by several local
artists.

Public relations and marketing manager Dandan Hamdani said the
three-day party also involved two female palmists who performed
free of charge.

"But they made money from guests who voluntarily tipped them
after having their palms analyzed," he said.

He said other participants, like the models in the fashion
shows and the costume shops which staged a Costume Party, offered
discounted prices.

The guests were served traditional snacks, like cotton candy
and Chinese siomay delicacies, besides the regular meals provided
at the Bengkel Cafe.

Musicians who played included the Kahitna group and Colors
Band while the Vicky Burki Dance troupe performed at the Bengkel
Discotheque. (cst)
