Russell Ladies Night is back, for its 15 th year, to celebrate women while raising money for an important cause. Parkinson Canada has been selected as the cause of choice for the 15 th edition of Russell Ladies Night, an annual event held on the first Friday in May at the Russell Arena. The evening consists of a silent and live auction, dinner, live music, amongst other entertainment.
