ESTEVAN — The Ladies Night Out fundraiser hosted by the Estevan Exhibition Association on Saturday at the exhibition hall proved to be an entertaining night for those in attendance.
Christa Kurtz, who organized the event alongside Lindsay Collins, said everyone had "so much fun". Approximately 175 people were in attendance, and another 20 volunteers were present.
"I'm so happy with the feedback we've gotten, and [I loved] just watching everybody having a great time," said Kurtz.
The theme for the evening was Wild Wild West, so most of the crowd showed up dressed in their western wear. Supper was catered by Elephant Ears Emporium.
After supper, spectators engaged in a couple of games. One was a Splash and Dash barrel race, in which participants tried to ride a hobby horse around several barrels in the shortest time possible. The other was a hula hoop contest.
Then the main entertainment for the night, Banger Bingo, took to the stage. The game hosts would give a Bingo letter and number to the crowd, and play a related song.
"I had actually seen them before, and that's why we booked them," said Kurtz. "They were just so much fun and great energy, and the music they played was just awesome."
A lot of the songs were popular tunes that Kurtz said created a lot of nostalgia. The women sang along as they filled out a Bingo card.
People enjoyed the food, the entertainment, and were happy with the efforts of the volunteers, Kurtz said.
The Ladies Night Out was held to raise money for an air conditioning system in the exhibition association's hall, which was renovated a few years ago. Kurtz doesn't have an estimate for how much money was raised, but the event did bring in enough money for the needed addition.
