When a Florida city -- or hell, the entire state -- gets a top spot on a national list or earns a designator of "Most (Fill-in-the-Blank)," the results usually aren't pretty. Not convinced? Click here, here, and here for examples to prove the point.

So it was a pleasant change of pace when this summer, Delray Beach -- home to tons of hot restaurants and lots of hotties in bikinis doing cool things -- earned the title of "Most Fun Small Town in the United States" in Rand McNally/USA Today's 2012 Best of the Road contest.

Deck 84 is teaming up with other local businesses to host a party this Saturday to celebrate Delray's big achievement. The bash includes live music from the Tucker Academy for the Arts and a chance to hang out on the outdoor patio drinking discounted cocktails and generally enjoying the beachy lifestyle that earned the city top points. The party gets under way around 2 p.m. and featured drinks include creations made with Malibu Rum, Jameson, and Absolut.
