Roll with Ramba Mamba Jamba

SANDUSKY — Just saying "Ramba Mamba Jamba" sounds fun — but it's even more enjoyable boarding the vehicle's namesake, rolling with friends and partaking in a night out, its owner contends. "It's a party on wheels," Ramba's owner-operator Racquel Pace said. Pace developed the idea of a Sandusky-based traveling party bus when she vacationed in Aruba about three years ago. During the past year, Pace bought a 40-seat passenger school bus. She transformed the bus, giving it a facelift, which most notably features a bright red paint job. Then, within the past month, Pace unveiled Ramba for its maiden voyage: a Sandusky-based bar crawl featuring comedian Janay Ms. Everythang Darden, who provided entertainment between stops, such as jokes and karaoke. Pace envisions the bus — which picks up and drops off passengers at Sandusky Plaza, where there's plenty of safe parking — offering roundtrip excursions for activities like Cleveland Cavaliers games, area winery tours, major holiday events and casino trips. It's also available for private parties for adults and children. "This keeps you safe without worrying about driving, especially during the winter months. You can stay warm during the coldest time. We'll drop you off right in front of where you are going," said Pace, a Sandusky resident who serves as the executive director of the Center for Cultural Awareness. "You also don't have to worry about parking far away or paying prices for it." Customers can see a full schedule at rambamambajamba.com. It's there where people can also purchase tickets. People can also search for the business name on social media for updates. The next tour, a karaoke-based event, is scheduled for Dec. 17.
