Caribou Lioness members, from left, Shirley Dumais, Karin Wong and Joann Dube were ready to model their “Sock Hop” fashions during the recent annual Ladies Night Out, sponsored by the Lioness group. The always fun-filled event was held at the Jade Palace Restaurant.
With a full house on hand, the Tikki Lounge at the Jade Palace Restaurant transformed into a “Sock Hop”, it was an evening packed with prizes, Rock ‘N’ Roll, laughs and yes, ‘Elvis’ was in the house.
During the dinner and entertainment, door prizes were given out one after another. Guests had a chance to participate in contests ranging from decorating cardboard guitars, locating any number of items from within a purse, to seeing who would win the sexiest lips contest.
The grand prize drawing was for a basket(Love Basket) containing nearly $1,000 worth of donated items to pamper the lucky winner.
Bonnie Bouchard, of Caribou, held the lucky ticket for the basket plus, her smooch on the Sexiest Lips Poster, earned her a banner and crown proclaiming her the rights to that infamous title.
Each year Lioness members work frantically to create an evening out that allows ladies of all ages to get out of the kitchen for one night, forget about their jobs and enjoy a purely entertaining and social evening with friends, some old and some new.
