Planning A Sock Hop For Hound Dogs

Grab your poodle skirts and saddle shoes and head over to the Edmond Town Hall Gym on April 21. From 8 to 11:30 pm that Saturday, the gym will be transformed into a 50s wonderland for Canine Advocates of Newtown’s first “Nothin But A Hound Dog” Sock Hop.

With dance music of the 50s and 60s provided by PowerStation and a special appearance by Newtown musician Suzan Hurtuk, organizers expect it to be a fun-filled night.

Tickets are $30 each and include 3½ hours of memories, a silent auction, dance contest, light fare, and complimentary wine and beer and donated by Yankee Spirits and Stop & Save Liquors.

Tickets can be purchased at C.H. Booth Library or Drug Center Pharmacy. They can also be purchased by sending a check and a self-addressed stamped envelope to Canine Advocates of Newtown, PO Box 236 Newtown, CT 06470. For more information, visit CanineAdvocates.org or call Canine Advocates at 426-5327.

All proceeds from this event will go toward Canine Advocates’ A New Pound for Newtown Building Fund, which recently reached its first plateau of $100,000. CAN is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation. All donations are tax-deductible.
