Pat Sharp's Fun House Turns 26 Today!
It's wacky! It's fun! It's cr-a-a-a-zy! It's outrageous!!
We can hardly grasp it! The TV icon that raised us through the 80s is turning an amazing 26 years old today!
Yep way back in 1989, we were first introduced to one of the most loved places frankly in the world, The Fun House! It had everything, fun messy games (loved the gunge!), head to head school battles, questions, go-carts and of course (the guy who puts the fun into Fun House) Pat Sharp and his twin cheerleaders Mel and Martina. What more could we have possibly wanted??
Running for an impressive ten years, Fun House was THE kids show of the 90s and was the one place every kid wanted to visit and make as much mess as possible.
For those not in the know, Fun House consisted of two teams from separate schools who would battle it out in and around the Fun House to earn points. After each game there would be a series of questions that could also earn extra points for each team.
The Big TruffleShuffle 10th Anniversary Party!
It's official folks! TruffleShuffle is now a whopping ten years old!! We can hardly believe it and it's all gone way too fast!
We'd just like to say a massive THANK YOU to each and every one out there who has picked up something from our store, told your friends about us or even just got in touch on our social media. Without all of you being totally amazing we simply wouldn't be where we are today.
So what would any self-respecting bunch of people do to celebrate this big event? Throw a huuuuge retro themed party of course which is just what we did back on Saturday the 8th. Taking place at Bristol's creative hub The Paintworks, we couldn't resist sharing a few choice snaps of our celebrations from our uber talented photographer, Jamie Corbin.
Of course any party needs some decent security on the door. Thankfully we had some Stormtroopers on our side for the night keeping everything under control...
