Girls Night Out In Downtown Centralia To Benefit The Human Response Network
Downtown Centralia will again be colorful with mylar balloons as downtown merchants launch the fall edition of Girls Night Out with the Human Response Network as the event’s beneficiary. Event runs 2-8 p.m., and starts out at the north or south ticket tables, Hubbub (328 N. Tower) and the Coffee Station Bistro (120 S. Tower). $5 ticket come in the form of a passport, listing the 30+ participating merchants, many offering snacks, in-store unadvertised sales, special services, and discounts to Girls Night Out participants. Participating merchants will also stamp passports, which, when full, can be dropped in the bin to win one of the large gift baskets made up of items from all of the participating stores. The full spectrum of merchants starts at Columbia Countertops (316 S. Tower) and extends 11 blocks north to Junk-in-the-Trunk (830 N. Tower).
The first 200 attendees will receive a goodie-bag stuffed with items contributed by the participating merchants. Toward the end of the day, passports will be collected and drawn to determine who wins the gift baskets.
The Human Response Network (HRN) provides shelter and advocacy services to women and children who are victims of domestic violence. A portion of the revenues from ticket sales will be donated to HRN’s shelter. Representatives will also be present at the Girls Night Out ticket tables in case any attendee would like to buy tickets to HRN’s second annual Masquerade Ball on Saturday, Oct. 14.
