The Fort St. John Community Arts Council will host its first ever Toga Party, April 10th at On the Rocks Nightclub. Doors open at 8pm.
This event will serve as fund raiser for the Community Arts Council, with proceeds supporting the continued operation of the ArtsPost facility. The ArtsPost is a storefront building dedicated to promoting and supporting arts and culture in Fort St. John. The ArtsPost is home to the Arts Council’s administrative office as well as meeting and workspace for its 24 (and growing) member groups and includes the North Peace Potters’ Guild studio and the North Peace Spinners and Weavers Guilds’ workspace. The ArtsPost is located at 10320 94th Avenue.
Guests are invited to don their best toga or attire recalling the days of ancient Greece and Rome. Creativity is highly encouraged (floral sheets make excellent togas). Prizes for best costumes will be awarded.
For entertainment, guests will be treated to an evening of dancing, complementary appies, a chance to win a stunning diamond necklace. In addition, there will be a very tongue and cheek ‘Slave Auction’, where upstanding gentlemen will be auctioned off to the highest bidder as the perfect date for an evening. These good sports excel at drink delivery, purse holding, have exceptional dancing skills, and are adept at arranging a safe ride home for you upon the evening’s conclusion.
Tickets are $25 per person and can be purchased at the following locations: the Fort St. John Visitor’s Centre, Whole Wheat ‘N Honey Café, Retro Relics, and at the door.
