The Magnum Kings and Queens road show reached a fever pitch as it rambled its way into Montego Bay on the weekend to stage the third leg since starting the campaign last month.
The popular Dump-Up Beach, the venue where the event was staged, saw hundreds of patrons attending, many of whom came to drink Magnum Tonic Wine and have a good time.
Good crowd
Entertainment, laughter and lots of excitement were what shaped the night and the crowd was commended for its good behaviour, even during a short power outage. Media personality Miss Kitty, who was one of two MCs for the night, openly complimented the gathering.
'Miss Fluffy', the name she is better known by these days, demonstrated her usual prowess riddling the crowd with jokes.
Several persons living in and around Montego Bay contested for prizes from sponsors Tru-Juice and Axe in sing-off, DJ and dance competitions.
Fame Squad, DJs 19 and Queen Ital were among the local acts who had the opportunity to share the stage with the Magnum Tonic Wine finalists, Wescalado, Doginal, Senita, Mona Lisa, and Magnum's King and Queen Singer Jah and Baby Tash.

Baby Tash gave a steamy performance and provoked the male patrons as she gyrated her hips and other assets. "From Magnum show start a di first mi feel so comfortable with a set a people," she said.
When Singer Jah walked on stage he didn't have to do much to win favour with the audience, as he delivered songs that had them rocking.
However, credit must be given to MC Ludlow 'Pretty Boy Floyd' Peynado, who easily stole the show. The naturally-talented comedian had the crowd in stitches throughout his segments.
In the midst of a presentation a black bat flew on stage. Floyd spotted it. "Spin yu roll", he told 'Bobbett', of Catherine Hall, Montego Bay. "Mi say spin yu roll an' confuse di duppy."
Another woman went on stage for a prize. "Yu have a boyfren?" Floyd asked. "Of course", replied 'Kedeisha', of Catherine Hall. "If yu sure him a fi yu, which part him deh?" Floyd asked. Kedeisha went silent and the crowd in a frenzy. Floyd phoned her boyfriend and his response erupted the crowd into thunderous laughter. Kedeisha collected her prize and walked away giggling.
The next Magnum Kings and Queen road show will be held in May Pen, Clarendon, this weekend with a culminating party being planned for a secret location in Kingston.
