2nd Annual Mrs. Roper Romp in Downtown Shawnee!
2nd Annual Mrs. Roper Romp in Downtown Shawnee!
Last year we had an idea! We thought we would host a Mrs. Roper Romp and maybe a dozen or so people would come.
When the June date arrived, OVER 90 colorful Helen's arrived!!!
We saw EVERY conceivable creative interpretation... Kaftans-galore! Daisies and hibiscus flowers in the hair! Giant bug eyed sunglasses! It was a DELIGHT... And so we're (naturally) DOING IT AGAIN.
Gather your gals and pals... This is gonna be a record-breaker! If you missed last year's shindig... THIS is your moment to shine. Tell Stanley to stuff it cuz you’re goin’ out on the town on JUNE 7th.
First stop is check-in at Seven Stories in our new/larger digs at 12115 Johnson Drive. At the bookshop BETWEEN 6 & 7pm you will pick up your pre-registration packet and be able to select which raffle prizes you want your raffle tickets to go toward. We will also pose for individual and group pics. A pro-photographer will be on hand if you would like to take it up a notch! We will also have music, a bartender, and light bites to tie you over.
THEN, just after 7pm... Grab our provided map and head out on your self-guided food, beverage, and shopping tour of our suburban Shangri La in downtown Shawnee. Participating businesses include Chicken Creek Co (gifts & flowers!), Brothers Records (across the street neighbors with a GREAT music selection), Jake's Place (who makes a mean drink and has a great steak!), Smoke N Go (Helen was open-minded!), Friction Brew Company (an ideal open space for drinks and gathering), and MORE!!
- Costumes encouraged!
- Mr. Ropers and Mr. Furley‘s welcome!
- Kaftans (or is it caftans, debate to ensue later) and loud print appreciated!
As always... The Helen's don't just assemble to paint the town COLORFUL... We act as ambassadors of Goodwill and Philanthropy! 100% of your participating/ticket fee will go to an organization in need (TBD).
Raffle prizes have been generously donated by area businesses. By registering you receive five raffle tickets, which you can put in separate pails for different prizes OR you can combine them and put all three in the one pail for a greater chance of winning. Mrs. Roper’s that register by May 28 will receive DOUBLE the raffle tickets… Meaning instead of five, you will receive ten!
**Registration opens on March 1st.
**This is a philanthropic event. Registration is FINAL, non refundable, and non transferable.
So... If you register, but find you are unable to attend, we appreciate your generous donation and hope to catch you for Mrs Ropers Romp next year!
