Legendary hip-hop artist, DJ Biz Markie, DJ’s Mohegan Sun Pocono’s 2018 Halloween Boo Bash; $5,000 Is Up For Grabs For Best Costumes
WILKES-BARRE, PA (October 17, 2018) – Taking place on Friday, October 26th, from 8:00pm – Midnight, Mohegan Sun Pocono’s Keystone Grand Ballroom will be home to the 2018 Boo Bash, with DJ Biz Markie in the DJ booth and a $1,000 grand prize up for grabs in the Boo Bash costume party! $5,000 total in cash prizes will be divvied out to the best costumes at the party with winners announced at 11:00pm. This is a free event for guests who are 21 and over!
The individual categories are:
- Scariest
- Sexiest
- Most “Casino”
- Most original
*The winners in each of the above categories will take home $500 and the “Best overall costume” winner will be awarded $1,000!
The legendary DJ Biz Markie brings more than 30 years of hip-hop acumen and 
an overwhelming fan-base that stretches from New York City to Japan to Europe. At the age of 14, Marcel Hall dazzled his neighborhood under the alias of Biz Markie. His music scene debut began in 1985 as a beat box for Roxanne Shante of the Juice Crew. From then Biz began constructing his own destiny in the mystifying world of rap and hip-hop. Two of his most impactful hit songs came in the late 80s with “Just a Friend” and “Make the Music with your Mouth Biz.” Now 30 years older and wiser, Biz continues to be universally praised by the ever-fickle and unforgiving hip-hop industry. No easy feat to accomplish, Biz is the definition of longevity and has managed to remain one of the most notable artists and DJs in the industry.
