Warm sunshine and spirits greet Girls Night Out

Friday, May 9

It was a perfect evening in Fairhaven as the streets echoed laughter and and greetings from women of all ages.  The annual charity event to help cancer research at St. Joseph Hospital appeared to be a great success.  Pink was the color of the evening.  Shops and restaurants were visited and discovered as participants walked the district getting 7 or more stamps on their “passports” and qualifying for the big raffle at evening’s end.  The two ‘Girls’ on the left are actually models - two of the many who were modeling clothes from different shops in Fairhaven. 

Displays of jewelry and other things were setup in several places through the district.

Headquarters for all the action was the Atrium of Finnegan’s Alley on Harris Avenue.  Ooh La La, located in the Atrium, had a big presence at the event with models on the streets wearing their gowns.  The evening ended with a drawing for a basket of goodies donated by Fairhaven merchants with a value of over $1,000.  If you missed this year’s event, mark your calendar for May 14, 2009 - the second Thursday in May. 

TONIGHT - Thursday evening is Girls Night Out

Wednesday, May 7

Weather update (Thur morn) - the rain will end by noon or afternoon.  Evening in Fairhaven should be sunny - with clouds - and temperature of 55F or so.  Cool but dry. - John Servais, Fairhaven forcaster.

The quiet hidden away garden of A Lot of Flowers at the corner of Harris and 11th is finally in bloom - just in time for Girls Night Out on Thursday evening.  All over Fairhaven, shops and restaurants are preparing a fine welcome for women to enjoy their special evening - to have fun while helping to benefit cancer research at St. Joseph Hospital.  Yes, A Lot of Flowers is participating - along with over 40 other businesses.  Part of the fun is getting your raffle ticket stamped by at least 7 businesses so you are elegible for the $1,000 drawing. A tour of this garden goes toward this stamp.  A fine pleasure.

Click the notice in the left column for all the details.  The event runs from 5 to 10 pm.  Think Pink.  Fairhaven businesses will treat you like the DIVA you are with beauty treatments, massages, games, gift bags, drink and food specials, raffles, a silent auction, a fashion show and much more!
