Haunted Happy Hour & Costume Parade

Thursday, October 31 (Ashcroft & Bradford living rooms)

On this Halloween day we will parade around the living room floor. All scarecrows, goblins and ghosts are welcome and, well, anyone who isn’t a bore. We’ll have yummy treats, tunes to move your feet and friends galore to meet. Don’t be timid or shy. There’s an appropriate costume for every girl and guy. So, think about what you will wear. Something festering from within. Something to invite questions, concerns or a scare. Dress as a group, a trio or a pair. And for any not in costume, beware!

Retrospective: A New Year ’ s Celebration

Tuesday, December 31, 8 – 11 p.m.

(Ashcroft & Bradford living rooms)

Before we count down to 2020, it’s time to step back in time to your favorite year(s) ... in retro dress. Whether it’s a roaring ‘20s flapper/dapper, swinging ‘40s dance, bopping ‘50s sock hop, or ‘70s disco ball, you’re invited to don your favorite era and be ready to jive, shimmy, twist and hustle out on the dance floor. The Sounds of Swing band and Tom Tolnay will be playing the hits from virtually every era. Flowing champagne, heavy hors d’oeuvres, party favors and, of course, our Photo Booth will help to ensure that this New Year’s Eve will be retro-special! After all, hindsight is 2020.
