Fall 2014 Ladies Night Out in Mountain Lake is that achievement of threes
It was a “hat trick” for area women – and their hats – as they went out on the town on Thursday afternoon and evening, September 25, at this fall’s Ladies Night Out in Mountain Lake. A hat trick is an achievement based on threes – and for this event, that included in-home visits that shared the “behind-the-scenes” stories of a pair of local women, business district specials and vendors – and a dinner featuring a style show program. That positive trio of achievements tells the story of the event.
The theme for the night out was, “Hats Off to You, Girls; Feeling Good, Looking Good and Doing Good!” – and the ladies attending came wearing an eclectic variety of head wear.
At the home of Mary Gohr, ladies out for the night were able to check out Mary’s skill on her embroidery machine, while at Eileen Thiessen’s home, vintage hats popped from every corner, the total amassing 120 collectible types of headgear (a few added to Eileen’s Thiessen courtesy of her mom, Gladys Harder).
Downtown businesses with specials of interest to the ladies included 10th Street Pickers, Mountain Lake Floral with vendors Eileen Adrian and jewelry, Julie Sumner and Nerium products and Wild Tree foods offered by Vicki Rasmussen, tucked in amongst the plants and cards, The Matchless Gift, Mountain Lake Antiques, Peterson Thrifty White Drug and Gifts, Maynard’s Food Center and Care & Share/10,000 Villages.
At 6:30 p.m., dinner was served at Sweet Fields by Norm Englund from Sweet Fields, along with Sue Garloff of Maynard’s Food Center.
A dinner program that played through Sweet Fields from Care & Share/10,000 Villages was an all-female style show. The models walking the runway wore clothing and accessories from Care & Share/10,000 Villages and Peterson Thrifty White Drug and Gifts – along with Wolverine wear from The Matchless Gift – topped off by a pair of Red Hatters.
