At Saturday Night’s Party: “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” – 7:30 – 10:00 pm – Library Hall
(Party includes wine and other beverages and light snacks, free of charge.)
This year’s party will be a blast! Following the surprise icebreaker, there will be all kinds of fun for the having. Dress up any way you want to express what you think constitutes FUN. After all, girls just wanna have fun! Be it a tutu and boots, glitter glasses and a pink wig, or a little black dress with a red boa (do you still have yours?), there will be a people’s choice award for the best representation of the theme. Then dance the night away with DJ Kip Strean, a disco ball, songs from all the decades. Matt and Holly will be giving lessons before the dance contests. This is a time to hang out, get to know others, and just have fun.
This year’s charity is the Yampa Valley Breast Cancer Awareness Project (Bust of Steamboat), appropriate for an event that happens during Breast Cancer Awareness month, October. All monies raised from the “purse” tables, the $25 secret gift boxes (filled with unknown new ‘grab bag’ contents – but worth more than $25) and the auction for the Flat Tire Cruiser bike will go to support the cause. There will also be drawings, included in your registration, for door prizes and the Chic Chance give-aways. Lots of opportunities to win great prizes.
