The “Sock Hop” Awards Reception - Fort Lauderdale July 20, 2008

The “Sock Hop” Awards Reception will be on Sunday, July 20, from 1pm until 4:30pm. Main Library - 6th floor.

Beatnicks and bongo drums, rock and roll and other surprises will happen. It would be fun if guests would attend wearing such things as poodle skirts, pony tails, bobby socks and saddle shoes. The Fonzy look, sporting greasy D.A. hairstyles and black or white T-shirts, jeans and motorcycle jackets will be appreciated. Be ready to jitterbug the night away? Questions about the attire? Watch “Grease” with John Travolta and Olivia Newton John
Soda jerks will be dishing out sodas and sweets, including punch.
No spiking please. As this is an alcohol free party.
John Brugos of The Melting Pot will make sure plenty of chocolate will be on hand.
It would be quite neighborly to bring AN EPICURIAN DELIGHT OR your favorite sweet (OR SWEETIE) to share!
THE STARVING CALENDAR: RECEPTION; SUNDAY, JULY 20, FROM 1 UNTIL 4:30 PM. IF YOU WANT TO BRING YOUR FAVORITE EPICURIAN DELITE TO SHARE TO BE QUITE NEIGHBORLY, THAT WOULD BE NICE TOO. MORE INFO? CONTACT KOSH E-MAIL [email protected].
If your art is entered or not, come on out!
I have two friends with art entered in the show.
