It’s Ladies Night, Oh What a Night On Friday, October 24th, Port Stanley is set to sparkle with laughter, music, and western flair, as the Port Stanley Optimist Club and the Port Stanley Lioness host their annual Ladies Night, with this year’s theme being Boots & Bubbly. The event, held at the Port Stanley Arena & Community Centre, promises a lively evening of dancing, raffles, and fun, all in support of Hospice of Elgin. “This will be our third year running the Ladies Night event together,” says Dorothy Cook of the Lioness. The night is designed exclusively for women to enjoy a fun evening out with friends. From western-inspired décor to themed snacks, the organizers have thought of everything. “We encourage everyone to dress up in their best country-and-western attire,” says Laura Gallagher of the Lioness. “We’ve got a line dance teacher coming in to give a lesson, so there will be plenty of chances to show off your boots.” Guests can look forward to Texas-style charcuterie boards, a s’mores dessert bar, door prizes, raffles, and a 50/50 draw. A cash bar, run by the Port Stanley Lions Club, will also be available. “It’s important to remind people this is a cash-only event,” adds Paula Miziolek of the Optimists. “Bring cash for tickets, the raffle, and the bar.” All proceeds from the evening will support Hospice of Elgin, an organization close to the hearts of both clubs. In past years, Ladies Night has raised between $10,000 and $12,000, with hopes to surpass that amount this year thanks to new sponsorship opportunities. “We’ve already had generous support from local businesses such as Westminster Mutual Insurance Company and IDA Highland Drugmart, Home Hardware Port Stanley,
A & M Sounds, and Debackere Farm Market, which means we’ll be able to give even more to hospice this year,” says Dorothy. For the organizers, the night is about more than just fundraising. “It’s such a joyful atmosphere,” says Laura. “The room is filled with women laughing, dancing, and enjoying themselves; it’s really special.” Paula agrees, adding, “It’s a chance for women to relax, connect with their friends, and support a cause that truly matters in our community.” Tickets are $40 each for this 19+ event, with group reservations available for six or more. Only 200 tickets are being sold, and the event typically sells out quickly, so Laura suggests you grab your tickets ASAP so you are not disappointed.
