PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION  #3 of 5  

WHAT:          1st Annual Halloween Costume Dance Party
WHERE:       Jitterbug n Java 2211 Winchester Ave. Reedsport
WHEN:         Sunday, Oct. 30th  6:30-9:00pm
Questions: Call (541) 361-6500 or (541) 271-3728
Because this is a first time event put on by a single person with many costs attached, we're asking everyone to either Pre-register at Jitterbug n Java or Hair 101, or you can RSVP at the numbers above because we need a large enough turnout to warrant throwing the event.

We will be having a guest DJ, dancing to 60's, 70's, 80's, and Halloween-themed music, with a costume contest so bring a good pair of dancing shoes and a camera to capture the memories.  All sorts of refreshment and goodies will also be available.  The admission price is a very reasonable $3 for Adults and $1 for Children aged 12 and under.  If you have any songs you would like to hear, bring them along and we'll try and get our DJ to play them.  Our plan is to make this an annual event because many people have told us that they must travel outside of town for their seasonal fun.  We're hoping to put an end to that hassle by hosting the party here each year.  So spread the word!
