Place: Morton Grove Moose Lodge
Time: 7 PM
Cost: $15 per person!!
Ya'll are invited to the District Dinner Hoedown. We'z
gunna be chowing down on some fixins, listenin' and dancin' to some good ol'
country music, and passing out some of that recognition stuff to all those hard
workin' folk in the Blackhawk District.
You be sure to mark down on your calendar March 7th, (that's
a Friday night, now) and be there at 7 PM. We'll be kicking up our boots at the
Moose Lodge, 6419 Chestnut Street, in Morton Grove. Y'all don't have to get all
purdied up real nice, cuz we'll be lookin' for that down home look. (No
uniforms)
Now this ain't no free barn dance, ya' know. But, we think,
$15.00 a person is the best deal in town. There's a cash bar for beverages and
y'all better turn your reservations in early, cause we only have room for 180
of ya'll
